Way to make a bunch of incorrect assumptions without every having used the product in the application described or at all. Loss of GPS sync is the biggest gripe. They do perform better than PMP100 unless you need to run multiple sectors in which case forget it. They do work far better than UBNT 900mhz gear. I have one pop with about 25 users. Overall TX is roughly 15mbps on 10mhz channel. It isn't great but its cheap and dirty and 15mbps is much better than 4mbps. That said, we are not deploying any new pops or upgrading old until 450i gear is released. John Woodfield, President Delmarva WiFi Inc. 410-870-WiFi

Improvement over PMP100? I believe it is downconverted 2.4ghz, like the UBNT 900mhz stuff... but I guess it could potentially be downconverted 5ghz too - definitely 802.11N based though. I assume it uses the same channel widths as any other 11n Mikrotik radio, so I would assume probably 5mhz, 10mhz and 20mhz. I haven't ever used these things, but I can't see how it could be worth the effort of replacing PMP100, My experience with UBNT 900mhz was always worse overall than PMP100 (with the exception of PTP links), and I really can't see how these could be that much better... especially considering they're only 1x1 and UBNT 900mhz gear is 2x2. The most obvious issue being that you're going to lose the ability to sync (which may not matter all that much in some networks)... I suppose you could turn off sync on all the Canopy APs and see how ugly things get.

I'm looking to improve throughput for my Canopy PMP100 900 MHz customers. I was excited about the 900MHz 450i announcement, but the cost is simply too high to justify for my low density deployments at this time. The sites I'm looking to upgrade are situations where higher frequencies are not an option due to the foliage. So far, I've found very little information from actual users of the 9HPn hardware.
