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.
