If someone did make that claim then it was probably a
misunderstanding....The effect is a function of the medium and no
product can avoid it.
It's possible they reduce the effect by allocating less airtime to the
weak CPE. Basically make the slow one slower rather than making
everybody slower. *IF* they do, that's not a unique feature to the
ePMP.

I dont know how they can make that claim when their "flagship" 450
product will suffer from decreased capacity when SM's with weak signals
connect to it and pass traffic. Same thing with LTE. Burns up more
airtime so why would EPMP be better than all the expensive gear? Doesnt
make sense.

Sounds like major interference or you are installing right under the
tower without giving the SM installs uptilt

We are having some issues with a epmp 2000 AP.
At first there was an install on a customers private tower to get
service. I noticed the MCS downlink and uplink were sitting around
MCS
1 with 80% or so of packets. So it affected all other customers on
the
AP and brought those other customers into 20% MCS 1 levels. Now his
SM
has been raised and signals are great, -60dBm, SNR of 37dB, MCS
13/15.
The SM is also operating at mostly MCS 14-15 with only 1% in MCS 1.
I changed the management to be MCS 0 to attempt to help with the
minimal connection to MCS 1 so it will be allowed to pass traffic at
that rate.
However, this customer still has issues where the internet
connectivity is random. Sometimes it just completely drops when you
put traffic to it, but when it is on, speed tests of 37 Mbps down
and
12 upload.
All other customers are still on MCS 1 with levels ranging from 7%
to
20%. I can assume they are having the same trouble as the customer
listed above.
All software is 3.1
My question is, what is the issue? This SM shows nothing but good
results, yet connectivity is poor at best, and all other customers
are
still having issues. I even disconnected the SM that caused
customers
to have problems and they were still modulating at the 7-20% MCS 1
level. Tried changing channels, etc. but still no results.
Any help would be appreciated.
