Ubiquiti PowerBeam 5AC 500
I was given 2 of these Ubiquiti units, PowerBeam 5AC 500. Is there any potential use for these on my AREDN system?? Can they be flashed? I don't see them in the list. These are solid units. 1 is still mounted on a tower of which we have a repeater at.

Jim, they most likely aren't supported by AREDN.  However, they could be used as is as part of a backbone link.  They'd be running AirOS in the Part 15 channels, but there's nothing wrong with running ham radio traffic over them.  A large part of our backbone is on  5 GHZ Part 15, and we'll eventually migrate it, but it works well for now.
