This site was installed before the epmp existed. It is what it is. Not going to do a forklift upgrade for something that is otherwise working fine. A better sector, sure. Not a whole new platform.

What about ePMP.  I thought this would sync with the latest 450 software?

Also I have some Arc adjustable on the shelf if you would like to try one.

This needs to sync with a full cluster of Canopy APs that is only 3 miles away.

        This site is not ABAB. It's not even AB. It is merely A. One
        sector; 120° wide, with about 15 subs. About as low as you can
        go. The problem is that most of the subs are near the outer
        edges of a 120° sector.  Dividing it into 2 sectors would be
        an option if we had (or expected) more subs, but this one I
        don't think that will happen. I'm not inclined to burn a
        Canopy AP (or two even) on 7 or 8 subs each.

            I think asking for 3 dB down at 120 degrees in dual pol

            going to happen. I’d plan on ABAB and look for a 90 degree
            sector.

            Hmmmm, the published patterns for the KPP “Gen III” are
            kind of ugly, aren’t they? Plus the HPOL and VPOL azimuth
            patterns don’t match very well.

            I thought the KP sectors were suppose to be -3db at 120...
            I think almost everything is rated at -6db now.

            The new 120 is the old 90....search for something

                What I'm looking for is a 120° sector that drops off
                no more than 3db at the edges. The 6 db bull that
                seems to be common these days is not   what I'm
                looking for.

Also want good F/B ratio, good cross-pol performance, and tiny side lobes. In perfect world, it
                would drop off 30db   at 121°.

                I want a pony too.

                    If you want less drop off probably go with an
                    original Airmax    sector. Those things bleed for
                    days and the f/b isn't very    good. We installed
                    half a dozen people 180* off one of    them.

                    of the 120°      is just too much for our    taste.
