I have to agree, it's perfectly possible to build a good network with just about any gear out there, but you do need to know what you're doing and know the limits of what that gear can do... and not having sync makes frequency planning extremely challenging after awhile. I don't think there's really any question that Canopy is going to scale better than anything else that's out there right now, but in our area it's pretty rare that we actually can get more than 30ish customers on a sector due to natural limitations... which makes wifi based gear a lot more practical.

I've been running for over 10 years. I've largely ran Mikrotik and Ubiquiti, moving to ePMP, then moving to AC sync Bitlomat and\or Mimosa when they're ready. Almost five years ago I bought a network that ran Canopy because that's the thing to do! Yeah, he had multiple towers in the same band within 5 miles that didn't sync with each other. Almost every AP was an omni in suburban Chicago. Had no idea how to do any sort of networking. I've since pulled all of that crap and replaced it with UBNT or ePMP sectors. A few years ago an out of area WISP bought out an area WISP that was Canopy based. The purchaser had been helping the purchasee for several months (maybe a couple years?) because they didn't know what they were doing. There is at least one other WISP in the area that's been going at least as long as I have... 802.11 based. An area WISP aggregator... 802.11 based from what I've seen. What gear you use has less to do with your success than properly engineering a network. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: "Craig Schmaderer" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2015 7:22:45 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] PMP 450 AP Lite - Now Available! I agree with Kurt. EPMP and ubnt have a place and work ok but I've been doing this for 12 years and the only equipment that works for voip, vpn, gaming, reliability, and just dam works is cambium 100 to 450. And as for mimosa and AC hardware, i hope they have a great product but unless it can do what 450 can do for reliable links it has no place in my network. Every ubnt wisp that has popped up in my service area has either quit or pulled out of my area.

Matt, That pricing lines up with what I was told by Cambium at the shows. I am going to assume that since its MSRP that WISPS can buy at 80% of that price level so then we are looking at $1160.00 for the lite AP and then the upgrade key so that is right there with what a full-AP would have cost so really no price disadvantage to start out with the lite-AP. This is wonderfull news! I am planning on ripping out a bunch of EPMP and putting 450 in its place. Kurt Fankhauser Wavelinc Communications P.O.
