eero has kept its promise made back in November that pre-orders of its mesh Wi-Fi system would ship by the end of February 2016. As one of the pre-orderers, I can confirm that FedEx will deliver the SmallNetBuilder three-pack by end of day tomorrow.

You can now also order eero from Amazon or direct from eero. Amazon is showing single eeros ($199) as "In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process" and three-packs ($499) as "In stock on February 25, 2016".

Other than that, today’s blog post doesn’t offer much new information. eero is still cloud based, is set up and administered using an iOS or Android app that begins the setup process via Bluetooth pairing, updates automatically and has "reimagined" guest access that lets you text guest network permission to users.

eero apparently already sent review samples to the usual suspects, so a simple search will let you know what they think.

Firetide announces ‘Fastest’ Indoor / Outdoor Mesh gear

Wireless mesh company Firetide today announced its new HotPort 6000 indoor and outdoor mesh nodes featuring a dual radio backhaul.

The HotPort 6000 mesh nodes feature high-powered radios that support both licensed and unlicensed bands, eliminating the need to purchase and install separate radios for each spectrum. Bandwidth for both radios can be combined to provide 70 Mbps throughput for "fat" point-to-point backhaul links or for high-resolution video surveillance networks. The radios can also be set to deliver a sustained 35 Mbps bandwidth across an unlimited number of hops if a multi-hop or linear network topology is required.
