It isn't too hard to overload the front-end in the ePMP 1k. Just like
the RocketM. I really doubt they're going to do a 2.4 ePMP 2000.
Can you try a 40MHz channel on one of the 2.4 APs and shut the other one
off? I don't know your setup and terrain, but I would try an ePMP 2k and
off-load the customers with good LOS.

So we have a site where all of the customers are south of the tower
and we have a 2.4 120 degree KP Performance antenna and ePMP AP
pointing at those customers. We have put a lot of SMs onto the AP and
before it gets to congested we wanted to add an additional AP. It
turns out most of the customers are covered by a 90 degree sector so
we put up a second 90 degree sector( again KP ) on 2.4. I think where
we screwed up is we installed this new sector with 3 feet of
horizontal separating from the other sector and no vertical
separation. ( they are side by side pointed in the same direction)
When we fired it up the SMs on the other AP started to re reg. I have
placed one of the APs at the top of the band on 20 mhz and the other
on the bottom on 20 mhz. Its better but they still drop and register
over and over.
So my question is. Has anyone put two 2.4 sectors on the same tower
pointing the same direction successfully? How much vertical separation
did you use? I am assuming vertical is going to be better than what I did.
How much of a guard band did you use?
The 120 degree sector is older so it doesn�t have the same shielding
on top and bottom as the newer 90 degree KP sector. Just FYI.
Thanks,
Brandon
