Hi Matt;
Curious as to why purchase and then 'discard' a bunch of the ePMP 3000
units? In particular, this Cambium series. Just seems odd that
Cambium have not been able to assist and provide a reasonable working
solution (until a permanent fix I guess) can be done. I have found
Cambium's support both directly and indirectly (through their forums) to
be very good. And with this being their newest, shiny product, one
would think that they would really want to be working to resolve these
glaring problems with yourself. Considering that you have so many units
ready to deploy and/or deployed it just seems odd that you'll are being
left high and dry in the wind. (Though this may not actually be the
case). You didn't follow-up with anything positive from your current
experience with the ePMP 3000 series. So I am concluding that things
are still bad.
That's alot a money just burning a hole/s in your pockets if it giving
so many problems. Wish we had that type of CAPEX to tap into and use.
I do hope that you'll are able to get the issue resolved and kindly
share with the community when and if it got resolved (either here and/or
the Cambium ePMP 3000 forums). Sorry you'll had to be the guinea pigs
in this case.

I purchased a bunch of ePMP3000 (not L) and have honestly had nothing
but issues with them since trying to deploy... including multiple
instances at multiple sites with the inability to get Gig to link...
but at the office it's fine... swap to a Ubiquiti AC radio and it's a
Gig on the tower.
Out of curiosity what temperature are you at wherever you are right now?

On the first unit we tried yeah. GigE worked in the office, but on
the tower it would only run at 100BaseT. Our guys fought with it for
a couple of days. Brought it back to the office and it did a gig in
the office no problem. I assume it's related to the cable length,
but maybe some other factor matters. The switch at the tower was a
Mikrotik CRS 2xx of some type. Not sure if that matters.
In any case, the second unit we plugged in at the tower went right to
a gig no problem.....except that one died today after being in the
air for 4 days.
Maybe I just rolled snake eyes or something, but it has me wondering
about reliability.
The price and feature set is right so I had big plans for these. I
probably won't try them again unless something changes.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.... You ALSO are having issues linking at Gigabit?
That's interesting, because myself and someone else are also having
this issue and Cambium has sworn until they are blue in the face
there is no issue.

So I tried an ePMP 3000L.
Real world performance is ultimately about the same as ePMP 2000.
QoS doesn't work properly. SM was re registering with a pretty
minimal amount of noise. I had 27 DL SNR and 17 UL SNR on a DFS
band......it's not going to get a lot better than that where I am.
Not in real life anyway.
First AP wouldn't link at 1Gig on a long cable (but would on a
short cable). Tried a second AP and that one worked at 1Gig, but
then died 4 days later.
I got a lot of mileage out of the ePMP 2000 and the PMP450, but
this new product does not currently impress. It's sort of a
little bit shitty in fact.
Maybe they'll bake out some of the issues later.
