Having just returned from a week in Port-Au-Prince, 15mbps is at least one order of magnitude faster than typical speeds out there. The church we were at saw 3mbps when it was online, which was about 60% of the time, and that was FTTH if you can believe it. Outages are expected, they happen multiple times each day and last anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours. We gave wireless solutions some thought and for a country where the average income is less than $30/month, even bottom-of-the-barrel hardware is too expensive to deploy, let alone premium stuff like Cambium.

I am currently under the impression that it is giving the largest number of people a decent level of service. I don’t know what they consider decent. To me anything over 15 Mbps is gravy.

Will be visiting with them later in the month. I believe the 450 medusa system is the best recommendation as to number of higher bandwidth customers per AP. But I have never operated one. And I know there are other vendors attempting to take prize for highest speeds and throughput on a PMP system. Is there a better system? How heavy can you load this system?
