Construction projects, festivals, etc. Bad cellular reception is more likely to be an issue far from other infrastructure.

There are plenty of outdoor plastic enclosures, mostly RF-transparent, that are intended to hold network equipment.

I would think if you are doing projects that big, you would in fact want dedicated devices instead of all-in-ones.

  • Those are just categories. For every major project or festival there’s a long tail of tiny projects on a shoestring budget out there.

There are brands specifically for those markets though. Complaining about Ubiquiti not making a product for that specific use case feels like complaining about a Honda Civic not being an offroad-capable Jeep.

  • “The UniFi 5G Max lineup was created with a clear goal in mind: deliver a sleek, versatile, and exceptionally powerful 5G internet experience that works effortlessly in any environment.”

    If it’s fine if you want to build a golf cart, just don’t pretend it’s an ATV.
