DisputedParticipants disagreed and reached no conclusion. Read the findings as positions, not as an answer.

The RB-2 achieves up to 900 meters range with standard omnidirectional antennas and over 1.5 kilometers with patch antennas in line-of-sight conditions.
The system delivers 40 milliseconds latency with H.264 compression at 4:2:2 color sampling and full 1080p resolution without downsampling.
The RB-2 supports multicast to multiple receivers simultaneously, including wireless streaming to Android tablets and computers via WiFi in full 1080p without additional hardware.
The system includes full-duplex intercom audio and SDI output, with incoming timecode transmission capability.
H.264 compression with optimized motion vector detection enables lower latency and higher range flexibility compared to uncompressed systems, though latency remains higher than uncompressed alternatives.
The RB-2 can adapt radio frequency paths in real-time across a three-antenna MIMO configuration to maintain low buffering when frequency conditions change.
Repeaters can be deployed to transmit the video link around obstacles when direct line-of-sight is blocked.
Firmware branding with customer name and serial number enables identification of stolen equipment when devices are sold secondhand.

Line-of-sight is critical at 5GHz frequency band, which limits performance through obstacles and walls despite being a license-free frequency worldwide.
Satellite or LTE uplink transmission adds approximately 2 seconds or more latency beyond the system's native 40ms.
Android tablet multicast streaming reportedly works only on 5GHz band, creating potential incompatibility issues.
Camera control via USB data channel and RS-422 interface was not tested at the time of discussion.
Extended antenna options and regulatory certification status varied by country, with patch antenna legality uncertain in some jurisdictions.
Comparison claims made against unreleased competitor products such as Bolt 2000 and Paralinx Tomahawk lacked verified real-world testing.
