+1000 what Darin said. We are using cambium 450m AP + 450b SM with success through some trees.
I would highly recommend testing a few different flavors of CBRS devices in your environment to make sure you'll get the performance you want. IMHO LTE is a PITA with all the pieces and parts, some vendors have pretty good work-a-rounds but it's still pretty convoluted. 2 cents -sean On Fri, Sep 11, 2020 at 2:07 PM Darin Steffl <darin.ste...@mnwifi.com> wrote: > I have seen lots to people doing 450M in CBRS stating coverage is nearly > the same as LTE but way better speeds and triple the aggregate capacity due > to mu-mimo. > > Way fewer issues too since there is no EPC.
