Cool thanks for this, we had winds of up to 80 MPH, but I believe it is the 
combination of that along with the Freezing that did them in.

Thanks

Subject: Re: [Cambium-users] Issue with 450m on mountain tops


We had 20 450m’s survive Category 5 hurricanes in the Virgin Islands.
Only lost 2…..because the towers they were on collapsed. 450m’s do not survive 
falling 100ft.
That said, the lowest temperature ever recorded in the Virgin Islands was in 
the 60’s, so I can’t report on what happens in freezing temps.

Hi all



We installed, under a year ago, a 450m on a mountain top and this year we had a 
lot of weather.  The 450m went off line and when we went to check it, it was 
full of water and had shorted out.  We, last week, replaced that unit with 
another 450m and sure enough, this week (again some bad weather and freezing 
temperatures) we had another failure and again the unit was filled with water.  
We did not install it upside down and made sure the Ethernet port Gland was 
secure and sealed.  We have 2 450i’s and 3 430 APs on this same tower and have 
not had an issue with any of these.



Has anyone else had this issue?  Or if you have a 450m on a tower in this 
situation (high winds, freezing temperature, lots of rain) have you done 
anything special to make it water tight?  Please let me know.



Thanks
