As much as Chris Johnson brags about his alpha LTU deployment, you would think it would be in production already.

I haven't actually seen any problems with the ethernet on an AF5XHD yet... but it doesn't always happen on the old radios either, so that doesn't prove much. They also have the advantage that of a usable second ethernet port, so you can hook up both and hope at least one keeps working.

The AF5XHD is good for the money. I can't complain. The only thing I'd be ware of is you really want a super hot CINR to hit the high data rates that they advertise. We just used an AF5XHD with 34dbi dishes to replace an ePMP with their 25dbi dishes. On the exact same channel the ePMP was on, the AF5XHD didn't actually give us better throughput. We did end up getting more than double the speed after shuffling channels around to reduce interference. It's unfortunately still only getting 64QAM (4x) in one direction due to interference, but it's 1024QAM (10x) in the other direction. On 11/16/2018 3:04 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: Who said that? It's the exact same problem, it's so damn loose. Yes, you still have to force that cable up there for it to work. They did include a rubber IP67 boot. If you put this inside and try to put a cat5/rj45 in there you'll destroy the female jack of the radio. I would guess if you slid the rubber thing over the cat5, plugged it in, and kept that boot in there it would help it from coming down at all but the trade there is a new tech will destroy the radio more often than what the boot would help...

That is what UBNT is telling me they said they found a problem vendor. Are you still having issues where you have to push the RJ45 up into the AF to get the ethernet link to come back?

As to ptmp, the snmp seems to be built with that in mind. As to when it'll come, all I can say is I've heard questions with no answer.

I'm happy with it as a PTP platform, but in a lot of our areas we are running 2 foot dishes for even the shorter hops to achieve the SNR for 1024QAM. It's kicking ass though, and these links probably should have been bigger dishes to begin with so it is what it is. Highlights are mostly that now 256Q(8x) has a effective output power of 21db-22db, compared to the 18db on a good day of the original 5X. I think 1024Q (10x) is now more like 18db-19db now which is a huge improvement compared to the original 5X. It has helped quite a few of the links we have replaced.
