    Microhard modems have longer range. But if the intention is to operate the system within 100ft, is there any particular advantage to microhard modem vs existing WiFi5/6 MIMO ?

      Microhard also supports mesh which might be interesting. In general, if you just need 50m or so WiFi is fine

        The modems

        • The modems on modalAI site are only configured for point to point . correct?
        • Does microhard have better robustness? like minimal throughtput, no drop off etc? Wifi systems we tried drop connection randomly and take sometime to reconnect.

          In general, yes Microhard is designed for point to point robustness at longer range. Like all radios, your mileage may vary.
