I want a bigger AF5. :-\ ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Keefe John via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2014 8:36:35 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RM5AC-PMP Embargo lifted.. Maybe it could be an integrated solution with only one 'dish' vs the dogbone design. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate a smaller AF5--even if it had less throughput/distance.

Lower throughput may allow for smaller, cheaper processors. Smaller processors use less power, so smaller power supply? I'm no engineer, so I can't tell you how much this would or would not change the price. Something that only does 10 MHz wide? I don't know their cost to manufacture, so I don't know how low they can go with the existing hardware and still make money. On the license front, I think people don't like the Cambium license system because the base unit is too slow and there are too many units. I think Gino's got something with a $1k 200 meg unit. Would be great for (business) customer installs. Maybe just one license to go from Lite to Full? Two things to keep track of, not several. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Gino Villarini via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2014 8:20:01 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RM5AC-PMP Embargo lifted..

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. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Colin Stanners via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 11:19:46 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] RM5AC-PMP Embargo lifted.. 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.

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).
