Opinions on Open Mesh

Anyone here use or hear of any experiences regarding Open Mesh? On the surface, it's incredibly cheap and seems easy to use. I'd be using it for an apartment building with 25 tenants or so.

It almost seems to good to be true. Anyone have any opinions on it?
 
Looks like they do. Interesting... I'll look more into Unifi! If folks could offer pros/cons with both systems, it'd be greatly appreciated.
 
I've used Open Mesh on two school campuses and a church with good results. The only time I've had some issue is in an area where there was a hardwired AP, then a repeater 100 feet away. When 25+ students were in between the two, it seemed like the network got a bit slower. The high power AP's are fairly strong too. http://www.open-mesh.com/products/access-points/om2p.html


Really nice reporting of bandwidth usage, they have been very stable (have only needed to be rebooted once or twice in the last year) and seem to come up from power failures and other things well. I've been impressed. In total, I've used about 15 of the AP's in a few locations.
