I would think it would depend on (a) whether people would buy it and (b) how confident the manufacturer is that same equipment can meet the new rules and be re-certified with only a FW upgrade.

Here's what Steve Coran posted on the WISPA list after speaking to the FCC about the new rules: > Fifth, equipment for the 3650-3700 MHz band can still be certified through > the FCC's equipment certification process.

Equipment can still be manufactured, sold and used under Part 90, if you have the NN license anyway.

If any 3650 equipment manufacturer, even Mercury or Telrad, wanted to release some new hardware variant at this point, could they? Or are equipment approvals in the same boat as NN licenses? From: George Skorup Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2015 5:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450i I think the 450i is only going to be 5GHz. We'd probably be better off asking WB or KP to make us a 3GHz panel for use with the connectorized SM. Or... maybe a slant SuperStinger so we don't have to buy the more expensive connectorized SM. That didn't work out so well for 2.4, but maybe 3.6 is possible? On 6/7/2015 5:18 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: I should know the answer, but is there going to be an integrated panel version of the 3.65 GHz SM? My real question, I guess, is whether new equipment approvals can go through under the old Part 90 rules? Or has the FCC essentially frozen the equipment market in that band for the next year or so? An integrated 12-15 inch diamond shaped panel would have been nice, although I’d probably settle for some better choices of external dual slant panels that don’t cost an arm and a leg but also aren’t junk. Maybe something like this, except it doesn’t seem to actually exist in real life, and judging from other Mars panels, would be way too expensive: http://www.mars-antennas.com/MA-WA36-DP19 From: Matt Mangriotis Sent: Friday, May 29, 2015 3:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450i Regarding official launch and availability… the PMP 450i is scheduled to be publicly announced and officially released in July. We will have several sets of Beta test and demo equipment around in late June, so you’ll be seeing it around more at that time.

The “i” is very special and means different things to different folks… this thing is much more than just “integrated”. It’s the next generation of hardware, and brings more performance to the table (both physical and RF). Keep the questions coming.
