Hi,
Yes, the GPS chip comes with an internal patch antenna. The internal patch antenna is automatically disabled once you connect the external GPS antenna (and auto enables when you disconnect the external antenna). If you think the radio itself doesn't have clear LOS to the sky, then you can use the external antenna and place it elsewhere on the installation to get better LOS to the sky. There are a couple of documents on our support site (https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/epmp?) you can read through that will help answer questions about ABAB deployment using ePMP.

Do you need an antenna for each AP for using it? Do you think it's as precise as using an CMM4 (or SyncPipe Deluxe w/Gig Injector) if not as robust? If all POPs are sync'd with same Up/Dn ratio and max cell distance and they're talking to the same birds, is it pretty much the same?

You might want the gigE version, but in the real world with a mix of subscribers at different MCS levels I'm not sure how likely you are to exceed 100x100. The CMM4 is a much more rugged beast. It is expensive, but you are not likely to go back and wish you'd bought the cheap one. My plan is to hook up the internal GPS and have it available, but also to provide sync over power. Once you are using GPS sync to re-use channels it becomes critical that it's always working, so better to have two timing sources available IMO. They have built in GPS if youre on a budget, not sure why alot of people are so die hard against using it On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 12:56 PM, Jeremy Grip via Af <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'm looking at ePMP w/channel reuse from a cost-comparison standpoint. Trying to figure out how much I need to spend on GPS synch for a 4 AP/ 2 channel cluster. Does it need to be a CMM4? I will want to be synching multiple POPs...
