Could they increase the QAM on the current AF24 to match that of the AF5 and at least do 1 gigabit FDX on the current shipping hardware? Not sure how increasing QAM levels work in FPGA land.

I'm sure they'll do a 24ghz AF 2/Duo/Super/Ultra with 1024QAM. In the 100mhz channels both ways that'll allow around 1280mbit FD - so a 2.5gbit backhaul... I'm assuming 3.65 will come as well.

The 450 is able to provide a better performance within the new environment so there will still be a differentiator. The only question if it’s worth the difference.

Cambium has the choice to use it or not. Others do. epmp competes with 450 right now but helps to keep customers and applications where 450 does not meet the price point. Von: Josh Luthman via Af Gesendet: Donnerstag, 11. Dezember 2014 04:00 An: Josh Luthman via Af An .AC ePMP would be incredible - but the issue is whether Cambium would be fearful of it competing too much with the 450. What does a company do when it has 2 products that are too good, and the cheaper one starts to outshine the more expensive one in the most often used benchmark? (mbps - even .AC ePMP is unlikely to beat 450 in scalability / latency / etc).
