Dear Canopy guys, go talk to the ePMP guys. Please.

Hello,

ePMP provides Air Fairness. Each SM is allocated an amount of time. If an SM is performing at a poor MCS, then its throughput suffers because additional time is not allocated. The other SMs get their time allocated time and do not have their time taken away at the expense of a poorly performing SM.

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.

        It is my understanding a poor receive on one SM will not hurt
        performance of the other SMs...

        ( i could be wrong but am pretty sure i read this on the forums )

            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.

                Josh
