We've not seen any performance improvement switching a 430 cluster to
450 APs, until all (or most) 430 SMs got swapped out with 450 SMs..
As for EPMP, it still does better than other wifi-esque gear, and
channel reuse works well.. Just not as good for long distance shots and
really noisy environments as 450.
EPMP also gives you a much wider range of channels that you can use.

A wisp wants me to buy them out but the gear is old.
Lots of 100 fsk gear and some 430.
430 gear is getting cheap and will pretty much do the job.
A move to 450 can reuse the 430 sm radios.
But the price on the epmp1000 is not too bad.
Thinking about it. Probably will not do anything.
Would I be better off just diving into the epmp?
It is a bit of a noisy environment and it seems like the 430 stuff
does OK.
I think you cannot go wrong with 450, but for the money is the 1000
better?
Is buying 430s a waste of money on a 450 system?
