The TP Link PoE injectors work great, but I have never used one of their switches.

I'd actually be curious to try a D-Link managed switch. They had a booth at a certain IT conference last year in Austin and were evangelizing to folks about their new line of gear.

Oh do you mean the PoE EdgeSwitch? Those have been around. Thought you meant their new SDN switch.
No. you are clearly mixing up products in your head.
The EdgeSwitch is brand new.
There is not a non-PoE model.
They are available and shipping for some models, though in short supply still.There is no SDN switch. That would not even make sense because SDN stands for Software Defined Networking. I can only assume you are thinking of their new Security Gateway. That is not yet out.
They took it down a few weeks ago but he is right. They were running ads for the new SDN switch. It is part if the new phone and router family under their "enterprise" line.
It is white, not black.

They tried to sell me on it but never followed up after I reached out to them.

Here is a picture of the Ubiquiti SDN switch. It was all over their site a few weeks ago. Now no sign of it.
-
It used to be under the LAN button in the site. Now it just says "coming soon".
-
cool. i hope the rest of their products are as nice as their wireless

Ubiquti stuff is great. I got to play with a bunch of there mFi sensors a few years ago. Pretty neat and much cheaper than anyone else.

Their online community is devolving quickly from promised products that aren't shipping and instead of releasing are disappearing from their site.
Their users are getting pretty unhappy.
Hopefully they actually make this new stuff.
-
yeah. i'm part of a "kickstarter" Coin, that is figuring out promise vs product and what happens when promise > product. ubiquiti hopefully has enough steam from their wireless goodies to prevent that from happening.

I only participate in the part of their community for the equipment I am using so I do not see that side of it.
I definitely think that they are moving too fast on this without a large enough supply chain.
-
I put in a bit of time talking about their upcoming VoIP platform so I see a bit of the new stuff being discussed.

It's been that way with the UnFi Software for a while now. Even 3.x is still in beta, though that's what most of use used in production as it works better.

They actually call it something like fast track or something to try and convince people it is not beta.
