Tyson, Yes, The AC Prism AP will outperform the original rocket by about 70% in our opinion. We have been doing what you are asking about in our Bloomington/Peoria market and the Prism's are great. We have both legacy M series bridges and beams as well as new AC CPE and all are performing well. We did have a few places where we also switched out the Sector Antennas to RF 30deg horns which really lowered the noise floor.
