sounds like it's partly an 802.11ac to 802.11ax compatibility issue I also seem to remember someone explaining to me that the 4500 was designed as 8x8 to get maximum sector capacity with a limited channel width, whereas the 4600 is aimed more toward using wide channels in 6 GHz to get the capacity. From that perspective, 4600 would also be better for single customer throughput, but again assuming you are using 6 GHz. (or somehow have 80 MHz of clear 5 GHz spectrum) -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nate Burke Sent: Friday, March 29, 2024 9:32 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] EPMP 3000 Vs 4500 I was wondering if anyone has some real world results from changing EPMP3000 to EPMP 4500. I'm starting to get equipment for our site builds this summer, and am looking at the price difference between 3000 vs 4500 trying to decide which route to go. I don't do high density deployments, so maxing out capacity on a sector is not a concern. Throughput to the Subscriber is more important. Can I get higher throughput to individual Subscribers with 4500 than I can with 3000? Would it need to be a 4500AP and 4500SM, or would there be a noticeable throughput increase from a 4500AP to a F300 SM (Future Support)? I'm guessing my EPMP1000 SM's are EOL from talking to a 4500AP if I wanted to upgrade a site. I'm guessing this was all covered at sessions during the WISP show, but unfortunately I couldn't attend. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
