Seems like they ought to be able to make that work.

What you'd really want to do with the 450, is go from the 430->450M.
Unfortunately, you will have to go to the vanilla 450 first because the 450M
won't play with 430 SMs.

One advantage of going to 450 is that it should be an easier upgrade path
from 430, since you can run those SMs for awhile even if you don't plan on
keeping any of the 430 running permanently... but that's only really a big deal
if there's a lot of 430 SMs already deployed.
I think a lot of it depends on how heavily loaded the APs are... if there's a
ton of customers on the sectors, then 450 might make the most sense... but if
they're relatively lightly loaded, then I'd personally just go for ePMP.

430 SMs will keep you from going past 450i at the AP end, starting with
450m. The path up to 450i is pretty solid, obviously single pol though. If
you are OK upgrading the higher plan subs to 450 SMs and keeping the lower plan
subs on 430, this might be OK.
100 FSK gear, wow, that’s like an anchor around your neck these days.
You’d be buying customers, but unless you can charge for the network upgrade,
they are going to be expensive customers. With customers thinking 10M is their
birthright, how many subs can you put on a 100 series AP?

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?
