EnGenius EMP8603 VS Ubiquity XR5
VS 
Comparison of modules Ubiquiti XR5 and Senao Engenius EMP-8603
Ubiquiti XR5 miniPCI module is running in the 5GHz band, 802.11a compliant. Card due to the high stability and high quality connections is very popular among successful wireless Internet providers. Card has a significant effect of up to 28dBm, which makes it the most is used for efficient and reliable point to point bridges. Engenius Senao's response to the XR5 is the EMP-8603 module, which in the 5GHz band is characterized by lower power 1dBm.
Devices have been tested:
- Ubiquiti XR5 Ubiquiti XR5
- EnGenius Senao EMP-8603 Senao EnGenius EMP-8603
- Omnidirectional antenna 10dBi 5GHz Tsunami
- MikroTik RouterBOARD RB433 (2 pieces)
- Wistron CM9 miniPCI module (2 pcs)
- MRC400 Draka Cable (1m) equipped with connectors Andrew Nm (2 pieces)
- Power Supply 12VDC 1A (2 pcs)
- HP Pavilion Notebook
- Asus Eee PC Netbook
XR5 is designed only to work in the 5GHz band. Less flexibility of this solution is compensated by a higher durability cards (cards are much less jednopasmowe emergency). In addition, card is protected against overvoltage to 16kV. Behind XR5 is a powerful radiator, through which the card is not overheating constantly working at full power. Produkt Ubiquiti wyposażony jest w jeden konektor MMCX, który charakteryzuje się mniejszymi stratami niż UFL. Ubiquity product is equipped with an MMCX connector, which is characterized by smaller losses than the UFL.
EMP-8603, unlike its competitor operates in the 2.4 GHz (802.11b / g) and 5GHz (802.11a). Worth emphasizing is the fact that each band has its own separate circuit radio. With such treatment card should be as little as fallback jednopasmowe modules. Card is protected against overvoltage to 16kV. Behind the EMP-8603 includes two radiators. For the 2.4 GHz band and 5GHz MMCX connectors derived separately. Along with the card get the cable to 5VDC external power supply or 6-24VDC, which may be necessary for low output current to the miniPCI slot machine base.

During the tests, the antenna separated distance of about 3km and between them there are no obstacles. EnGenius Senao card is prone to overclocking. The measurements were taken under the default values in the case of the EMP-8603 also at the power set to 30dBm. Charter also compared with the module Wistron CM9.
Sets of work in the following configurations:
- A Proxim Omnidirectional antenna 10dBi 5GHz Tsunami has been installed on the eighth floor (about 25m). The antenna is connected to the tested modules are installed on board RouterBOARD RB433.
- Set B consisted of a client with 23dBi panel antenna Mars, Wistron CM9 cards and RouterBOARD RB433 boards.
Measurement of the signal was measured at frequencies in the 5300MHz and 5500MHz - 5700MHz. The measurement results were read on MikroTik RB433 client-side.

During the tests, all the cards worked very stable. Senao EnGenius module does not require an external power connection when both worked with the power of default and overclocked to 30dBm. The average results agree with the technical specification. EMP-8603 overclocked obtained better results than the Ubiquiti card.
Summary
- Stable RouterBoardzie cards on RB433
- High levels of signals on both cards
- EMP-8603 features separate tracks for the radio band 2.4GHz and 5GHz
- Reliable cooling system on both cards
- Senao EnGenius EMP-8603 can be a cheaper alternative to the XR5 Ubiquiti card.
