Couple of things…
We are definitely looking into putting the 3.65 PMP 450 SM into a
high gain panel in order to provide a solution (that’s not an
offset reflector). We feel like this could represent the right
balance between gain and directionality to increase the chances of
working better in near and Non-LOS situations.
We believe that this could be approved under our existing FCC
grant. I don’t have a timeline on this yet… but is there interest
in this from you guys?
Also, the 5 GHz PMP 450i was certified for 5.8 GHz under 15.247.

But what about new equipment authorizations? I think the timing
in the 450i was to get it in before the old 5 GHz rules turned
into a pumpkin. I’m wondering if it is still possible to get new
or modified equipment approved under Part 90.
Actually, I’ll have to read the test report on the 450i to see if
they went with 15.247 or 15.407 for 5.7 GHz.

Yes, I remember Steve saying that. Equipment can still be
manufactured, sold and used under Part 90, if you have the NN
license anyway.

It’s still a question I don’t know the answer to. 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?

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?

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:

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.

Its too bad I did not get 150 of those instead of the
regular ones.
next batch I will get a few of em to let our techs
install. They are already
had a heads up about this and have been waiting for me
to order them.

Nah… if it were, it would be the i450.
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.

So....the "i" is for "integrated" antenna?
Or is there something more special about it?
