"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
