Take a look at AF-3x pricing vs AF-5x, parts cost is probably the same but Ubiquiti prices it at double. Also, I wouldn't expect any vendor to rush a new 3.65 product to market unless it is fully CBRS compatible and probably LTE based.
Best we could probably hope for is Cambium does some kind of HW refresh based on the new wideband SM and brings the price down. It's not obvious to me why the 3.65 SM is different from the 5 GHz SM, with the heatsink fins and different LEDs, like it is based on the 450i design or something. It's not like you are going to run 40 MHz channels in 3.65. There's something going on that's not apparent to the casual observer. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stefan Englhardt Sent: Monday, November 21, 2016 2:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium PMP450 3.65 pricing? I think there is 0,1% possibility this will happen. As I understand the parameters of both systems are quite different. It would need a lot of work to make them GPS-Compatible. Think you are Pera and have the choice of bringing this to market 2017 or make compatibility and bring this to market 2018.
