Cambium is getting torn up at a Utah Public Service Commission hearing this morning.
Frontier installed a pair of Cambium something between Bald Mesa and Castle Valley Utah in December to change out a TDM radio. Bad fading on Cambium. A resort ranch filed a complaint and I am listening to he hearing this morning. Frontier is complaining that they got no support from Cambium. The radios would work for 3 or 4 days and then troubles would come again over and over. Frontier changed out the Cambium radio in March. They removed Cambium and said they have removed them as a vendor company wide. They changed to Aviat. Supposedly the new radios fixed everything. Typing this as I am listening to the hearing. The ranch still had some problems after changing to Aviat. Frontier says that the the new radios fixed everything. The new radio has not had any drop outs. This is a two hop system. They are changing out cambium on the second leg with Aviat soon. Passive repeater system on the second leg. Fog causes fading. Drops modulation down to low QAM levels. Frontier claims the second Aviat radio will make this network flawless. When asked what that means Frontier answered 99.99% Frontier is in process to take action against Cambium. CAF money was used to buy the Cambium radios. Second leg is scheduled for commissioning next week. Someone should take a look at this license and tell me the details on that passive repeater side. I am curious as to the leg distances. Too lazy to look it up. Frontier Telephone Company or whatever they are called now. Moab to Bald Mesa. Bald Mesa to Castle Valley. Passive on the second leg. I am betting these are 6 GHz links with huge antennas.
