Oh, wait, you’re talking about ePMP sectors? Are those Laird? I thought they
were made by RF Elements.

I think you’re being unfair to the Laird sourced Cambium sectors. As long as
you choose the “Gen II” or “Gen III” KP sectors, those should be good choices
as well, and maybe a little better price. Main differences I think would be:
KP specifies beamwidth at 3 dB points
KP has built in downtilt
Cambium has bracket to hold a 450 AP papoose style
Cambium has null fill
Cambium brackets are hot dip galvanized with stainless steel hardware
The mechanical design and connector placement are different, you may prefer one
or the other. Some people have complained about the stainless steel hardware,
but they are standard bolts and nuts so you could replace them or substitute
silicon bronze nuts or use antiseize. Or buy the KP antennas.
Laird makes many products and has acquired many companies, I don’t think you
can paint all their products with one brush. And as an example, some people
have cast aspersions (asparagus if you’re Louie Gohmert) on the Cushcraft 15
dBi yagi, actually I’ve found it performs very well. The Pac Wireless wire
grids however are junk, they turn to rust in about 5 years.

Uhm I'd recommend beer cans over Laird sectors. KP is an excellent choice.

Definitely deploying 2.3 both due to more/stable bandwidth and the fact
it is a release =)

Latest firmware just got me 110 megs aggregate on a wireless test.
That's not bad in 20 MHz MIMO especially when it has fixed scheduling.

I prefer ePMP over 450 as I can afford to buy multiple of them
