I don't buy the 80 users stuff they push, though. I don't see that lasting very long. I only see it being useful for low population density areas. ;-)

The same migration would probably work for me. Unfortunately in my rural area, I don’t fit the business model for the Telrad product. So while it might be a good migration, putting in yet another expensive WiMAX basestation in a low population density area would probably be a bad move, plus as you say the CPE would have to be swapped out anyway to go LTE. I wish there was some solution to overlay LOS equipment and hit the 5% of subs that are NLOS. 900 MHz no longer works for us (interference and Netflix), and TVWS doesn’t seem to be production ready. We have PMP450 in 3650 deployed at 3 towers and just for grins tried a few NLOS tests without satisfactory results, except for one that was literally 1000 feet from the tower through 2 trees.

Telrad has their own version of that same Gemtek model. It probably is a good migration path as long as you've got the cash. If you want to migrate to LTE you would still have to replace all the CPE eventually. It would be an expensive proposition, but you could do it cleanly....replace the CAP320 with a compatible base station, slowly swap out CPE, then make a firmware change to get yourself up to LTE. I could go on about things I like and don't like about it. Overall I would rather have Canopy, but if you're already swimming in the WiMax side of the pool..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzAkMGKT5_M I feel like there might be some koolaid here somewhere -- All parts should go together without forcing.
