Redline will do some announcement. Got an invitation to an introduction webinar. Some of the purewave lte guys went to redline ... We had a look at telrad but it smelled like an expensive experiment which might end up like wimax does.

I heard someone is launching something better than Telrad on Monday. We'll see what it is!

We were/are an early adopter of LTE. I can tell you that buying into the Telrad system has been a very good move for us. As of today, almost 450 Subscribers and 30 sectors deployed in 2.3Ghz and 3.65Ghz. We have a total build commitment consisting of 70 sectors and 2 EPC cores on our network. From there…who knows. We have been deploying 4 sectors with Back to Back frequency reuse using 2 eNodeB’s in split mode. Once we fill it up, we will deploy additional AP’s and continue to fill…..then once MU-Mimo is running we will double our subscriber possibility. Now that we have Breezeview running and ACS, we have complete visibility into our UE’s and infrastructure. The piece we need to get integrated is Powercode and the EPC. Was the LTE piece sold too early???…YES… Is it ready for commercial deployment now?….YES. Because of early adoption, we certainly appreciate the features and stability of the platform and EPC at this point. Thanks to other customers that adopted early, like us, many bugs and issues have been resolved. Another point to remember is that the technology has been heavily deployed by National Carriers in the WiMAX flavour as Alvarion…the hardware is hardened and works well in extremely cold temperatures and heat….and lightning resilient because of field proven/hardened components. LTE is absolute magic…. Our installers are loving a working, predictable platform now that we have a strong understanding of capabilities and I love the fact that new features are a software upgrade away. We are filling our schedules with customers that have been waiting a long time for our deployment. I can tell you we wasted a lot of money with other platforms/vendors, but I am very happy with our decision to go with Telrad. Also, kudos to Telrad. They have been absolutely terrific on the customer service front too…we had some very weird issues just before Christmas, they sent Guy from Israel on boxing day and we spent a week in the field diagnosing problems and solving them. Most of the problems were related to outside interference and on tower interference. This field diagnosing and knowledge level that Guy has in the product definitely instilled confidence in the product and sealed my faith in the decision I made to move forward with them.

However the telrad equipment has been amazing at connecting clients that are buried in trees. I'm extremely satisfied with the performance of the system...when it works. I added the qualifier of "when it works" because I feel like we've been a bit of a beta tester. It's a very new product on the bleeding edge and it's getting better all the time but we definetly bled more blood than I would have liked. 2 cents -Sean On Wednesday, February 10, 2016, TJ Trout <[email protected]> wrote: It seems as if the telrad discussions have gone cold, seriously looking at it for a new deployment but wanted to get some feedback from current users, Gino? Etc They have priced me out at about 45k for 4 radios, 4 sectors and the basic EPC. $285 for the CPE. This is a fortune compared to anything else, but if you can truly reach many more customers and load the aps higher it may pincel out for me... So what's the word ?
