I didn't mean to come across as a hater. The 450 features they have given us are impressive, in my case a bit overwhelming. I feel like I just sat down in the cockpit of a big commercial airplane.
Everything you say is true, I just need some quiet time and some brain enhancer pills to wrap my head around all the options. I hope the money guys aren't leaning too heavily into "FWA is dead, gotta pivot quick to fiber". Yes, do new things if you have some advantages that will allow you to be successful, but you also have to be able to walk and chew gum.

I also always felt that Cambium was listening to the operators and trying to give us what we needed and wanted. If you can read, you can use the product without support, but in the few cases I did need support it was available and I didn't have to pay for it. They also never BS'd me about what the product could do, and they never failed to support a product for a reasonable amount of time..even the 320 which was kind of a dog. Telrad documentation would take a whole paragraph to tell you how to change an integer value and not ever tell you what it does. We also paid real money for support who couldn't help us, and certain people there made absurd claims about capabilities. Ubiquiti gives you what they give you and doesn't help you at all. You can try to get answers on the forum, but the signal to noise ratio on a support forum can be terrible. Alvarion VL was a decent product for it's time, but all their Wimax stuff was garbage. I'd actually take PMP320 with all of its idiosyncrasies over any Alvarion BreezeMax or whatever else. And the list of terrible PMP products is too long to get into. There must have been three dozen stupid WiFi things packaged up like they were something more awesome than just a stupid WiFi thing. I don't know what's up with Cambium haters. Did they actually use it and objectively compare it to the competition, or are they blinded by the desire to save a few dollars? Anyway...the short version of all that is that all I had to do to appreciate Cambium PMP was try someone else's crap for awhile. If the worst thing we have to complain about is that a feature shipped before a license key was on the market then that's not a bad product. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Ken Hohhof Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2024 10:33 AM To: af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450m uplink interference cancellation feature 450m and 450 in general has so many knobs you can tweak and stats to analyze it seems they should have an AI powered advisor in cnMaestro to help you optimize the settings. ---- Original Message ---- From: "Tyson Burris" Sent: 2/13/2024 9:23:06 AM To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cambium 450m uplink interference cancellation feature Cambium is in a bit of scramble mode with everything going on and folks breathing down their neck.

So the uplink modulation is poorer than downlink. The SMs have narrow beams but the AP sees 90 degrees. The other case where we get uplink problems is in 3 GHz when Verizon lights up CBRS on a celltower, but we can (mostly) solve that by matching LTE timing.
