Got a 1/2 dozen or so APs deployed. 50-60 customers on them. A couple of
the POPs are in an area where Commonwealth Edison will be turning up
their first smart meter deployment in our area. Probably by the end of
the year. It's all FHSS. So I guess we'll see what happens. This is
where we have difficulty even with 900 because of the tree density. I'm
wondering how well their shit is going to work. Hopefully not at all
with our channels in the mix, then they just give up. No, probably not.
They'll just keep adding nodes on the poles until it limps along.
And on top of this, ComEd is shitting all over 3650 as well. They'll put
up three 120's of Siemens/RuggedCom WiMax at 300+ feet on the towers at
main stations just to link a couple sub-stations. So there's none, one
or maybe 2 CPEs per sector. Idiots. They were running 10MHz, then
dropped to 7MHz, and now I guess they've settled on 5MHz. I said, hmm,
for your little telemetry data, why don't you go down to 3.5MHz. No? OK,
GFYS.

if your local utility company hasn't already trashed the 900Mhz
spectrum then the 450i from cambium works great and you get the same
performance as any other 450i band in the same channel size etc. yes
it goes thru trees and has the same characteristics of other 900Mhz
platforms
if you have noise then it sucks and won't work very well or at all.
if the noise is a utility company frequency hopping system then it
really won't work. you probably haven't heard many of us talking
about it because by the time cambium released the product the utility
companies had ruined the spectrum.

I haven't seen much talk about the 900 mhz AP in the field. Has
anyone deployed it and does it work very well? You know, through
trees, around buildings, etc.
Thanks
