It hasn’t happened yet. The problem we ran into with Ubiquiti was the growth was crazy. They used Titanium antennas without shields and then just kept adding more radios. At this point it’s a density thing.

Thanks From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rory Conaway Sent: Thursday, 30 April 2015 3:28 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Rocket to ePMP migration This is a conundrum I’ve been battling with a client of ours. The newer Rockets with XW firmware can handle more clients but run into random lockups. The only difference between them and the Titanium’s is the port. The ePMP isn’t sexy but it does work and can handle more than 50 clients at the AP plus comes with GPS. Rocket AC’s may not need GPS as badly but their firmware is still beta and I haven’t seen any data from anyone with 4 on a tower. We won’t deploy them until they are backward compatible with 802.11n and there is a smaller CPE than the PowerBeam-AC. Mimosa isn’t out yet with PTMP so that option is out. Our client deployed Ubiquiti Rockets in 1 city but is deploying Cambium ePMP in the next city. We just deployed a tower over the weekend and used Rocket 5Ms with RF Armor shields but we won’t have density issues for a few months. We may replace it with Mimosa or Rocket AC’s if the compatibility issue gets resolved. Forklifting the entire area isn’t financially feasible for the revenue. But I do expect multiple options to be compatible with 802.11n at the AP level in a few months and that’s what we are planning for.

Really hard to decide if I’m upgrading or side grading. Not so keen on the AC stuff, seems not to like interference and need super strong signal.
