I have a tower out west where the FSK gets 2X but we have more than 2
customers at the same time wanting to stream Netflix. I will probably move
this equipment out there and see how it does with a little better SNR. We
have one 900 MHz sector pointed at the base of a ridge with houses in the
trees, the ridge blocks any interference from farther away.
But like you say, how long until ComEd ruins that too.

Ouch. That's what I was worried about. Now ComEd is going to roll out
smart meters across their entire service area in about a year and I fear
we're going to have to abandon 900 altogether because of it. Guess we'll
be trying some TVWS, until they shit on that too.

Had to go to 5 MHz channel to stay registered, 1X MIMO-A, about 2 Mbps
aggregate throughput on linktests. That's useless.
I can't say I'm all that surprised, the signals are bad and the
interference is worse. But the only way to find out was to try it.

So what did you get, about 10dB SNR and 5Mbps of throughput?

We swapped out an FSK AP in a high interference area today. No magic,
works about the same.
Too bad, even the installer liked the SM and antenna. Even the coax
boots are nice.
Will probably work well for those of you who don't have -65 noise floors.
We are going to have to give up on 900 MHz at this location. This was the
last gasp.
