We've had Telrad Compact 1000's for around 2.5 years, but they're running Wimax firmware because we were replacing older 16e installations. We have a number of sites now that have entirely dual mode CPE so we're about to pull the trigger on LTE. We're installing four LTE base stations next week on brand new sites, and assuming those go well we'll upgrade some existing Wimax sites.

So yeah, within the next few weeks I'll know more. I'll definitely report back.

It's interesting that you phrase it as "if it works at all." The issue with Wimax has never been it "working", it's just that it comes with a lot of quirks and it sucks at administration and troubleshooting. I'm speaking of Wimax in general here, not Telrad specifically....and I've used Wimax from three different vendors now. I have no fear about LTE working. I am afraid it will turn out to be cut from the same cloth as Wimax.

Aren't you doing Telrad? Please let us know if it works at all.

I wonder what LTE would do with the same RSSI.

Oh I also have somebody with a -88 who gets about half that.
900 was the last ditch effort for both of these.
With wimax from the same tower we got a big fat nothing at both locations.

On the other end of the quality spectrum:

We're looking at doing a forklift on a couple of 900 MHz FSK APs. What are real world throughput numbers that any of you pioneers are getting? We would probably want to do 10 MHz channels at first, and I would hope that we could get > 15 Mbps in download, but maybe I'm being too conservative?

The places we are looking at do not have Smart Meter issues.
