Excellent point. If you have a big sector, you won't be able to distinguish where the noise is coming from. If you have beam steering, you may be able to block out different frequencies in different directions.

The real trick would be the ability to use frequency A in sub-sector A, and frequency B in sub-sector B, and so on.

Yeah, true... it certainly wouldn't hurt. Also, if all of the noise isn't actually coming from the same location, you could potentially find a clean channel using beam steering.

    Ok, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some sort of RF

    Yep... if the interference wasn't in the same direction as the
    customer, beam steering would help you, but I don't see that
    it'd do much in this case.

        a blind AP is a blind AP no matter how you cut it, if the
        interference is coming in from the same direction as the sm,
        not alot you can do. with -50 floor that sector is
        effectively not there. can you go lower with the sector and
        hope ground clutter will mitigate the campus interference to
        a point you can get a reasonable snr. compared to what you
        have right now hin dropping to a -70 if you can get clutter
        to -80 is better,
        but if thats the floor, youre better served to get a tight
        shielded directional antenna rather than a sector and do ptp

        beamsteering is focusing energy at the subscriber more than
        anything isnt it?

            If the interference is on the subscriber end, it should
            affect the downstream traffic. Interference on the AP
            side (which you don't seem to be having) would affect he
            upstream.

            Something else is going on.

                So the EPMP2000 with beam steering on the upstream
                side.  If you have a customer that is in line with
                the source of the Interference, they're still hosed
                right?  The AP still wont' be able to hear them over
                the noise.

                I have a EPMP sector with a single customer on it
                and the AP is running about -50 noise across the
                entire band (5.1 and 5.7)  I think the source of the
                interference is a close by corporate campus that's
                probably flooded with 5ghz wifi, and this customer
                is directly in between the tower and the campus.  I
                can only get MCS level 1 on the upstream side with a
                receive level of -48. EPMP2000 would have no effect
                in this scenario, right?
