Re: [AFMUG] Memphis

I have used the cambium 3.65Ghz PMP450 and PMP450i since its debut. I have been very happy with performance and reach for this band. I run 10Mhz channels and most connections are 8x8x to 8x2x as expected when going through some tough tree like pines. Most of our cell ranges are sitting around

Re: [AFMUG] Memphis

It lives up to the promise of being reasonable priced LTE gear, and it works fine. If I had been expecting it to perform the same as 900mhz does (or did, when 900mhz was actually usable...) in NLOS, then I'd probably be a bit disappointed... being LTE, it does do better in NLOS than, say, Canopy

Re: [AFMUG] Memphis

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

Re: [AFMUG] Exalt firmware

Programming twice usually means there are two firmware banks and you're bringing both up to that version. I suspect there's some big change where the old firmware won't work anyway, so you need to flash twice to avoid accidentally rolling back to a firmware that won't work anymore.

Re: [AFMUG] Exalt firmware

Note: According to the ExtendAir G2 1.4.3 upgrade notes, if you have very early firmware you can upgrade your link to 1.1.0 then jump straight to 1.4.2 (which needs to be programmed in twice for reasons that I don't fully understand), then to 1.4.3. I can send you 1.1.0 firmware if you want. On

Hi. I actually ran those tests with Performant/Accedian, which caused UBNT to put flow control in. Inband management will still cause issues. Your max throughput will drop, but it should be stable. I still have the old test results around here somewhere. Remember, these radios have like

Good question! Ours is at 17a (the default). 30a is unnecessary because we're rate limiting lower speeds (capacity constrained by microwave back haul). On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 6:09 PM, Eric Kuhnke wrote: > Are you using a 17a or 30a profile with that? > > On Mon, Jan
