All things being equal, 900mhz does work better than 3.65ghz in NLOS, and it always will. The Cambium 900mhz solution works quite nicely... where it works. The problem is that half of our sites either never worked very well because of interference, or one day they just start working like crap because some new interference shows up (I suspect smart meters in a couple of areas, but I have yet to prove that... ). It's gotten to the point where it's just so unpredictable that I don't want to put any more 900mhz up.
I think most of the claims about LTE's NLOS capabilities came from Telrad (when Patrick was there... I haven't heard much from them since he left). I don't think I've ever heard anyone from Baicells claim it would work better than 900mhz (aside from interference issues).
