Thank you very much for all of you that helped with Open Beta. It was a very long release, but there were lots of things found and fixed as a result of having you helping us with access to your systems.
I’d like to highlight here, for those of you that don’t read the release notes, due to the MIMO-A changes and isolated issues seen during the upgrade procedure at some customers sites, we are recommending an SM-first upgrade when going to 13.2. Most customers were able to do the normal AP-first upgrade without issues. But there were some changes in the Air Interface PHY that could potentially cause SMs to have a hard time registering when you have mixed versions between 13.2 and earlier (13.1.3). Even doing an SM-first (reverse) upgrade, most, if not all, of the SMs should come back in session, so it isn’t a downtime upgrade (where the SMs don’t register until the AP is upgraded). There is more information in the release notes as well as instructions on how to do this type of upgrade as well as help to switch procedures if you have already started a normal upgrade and have SMs having trouble registering. We saw no issues with registration (we actually saw improvements due to MIMO-A control messages) in SM registration once the sector was fully on 13.2. This last problem is a big part of the final 2-3 week delay. Also we were able to fully fix the 13.2 Open Beta nagging Ethernet lockup detection problem. Please enjoy 13.2, it has been a long time in the making! For the questions about 13.2 being for PMP100, the answer is no. And I can’t comment quite yet on any possible upcoming releases for the PMP100.

We released 13.2 this morning officially. Come to our forum to discuss anything about it. http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/PMP-450/System-Release-13-2-Now-Avaialable/m-p/36254/thread-id/278 Download the software from the usual place on our support site: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450/ Thanks to all of you that Beta tested this software with us, and helped to make it stronger and better than ever. Now that this is here, we’re hard at work on delivering the next round of enhancements (code name 13.3 (pretty original, huh?)) which are right around the corner. The momentum is building on the PMP 450 platform. Thanks again, Matt
