I'm holding my breath for the 2.4 connectorized dish Cambium is
releasing. Isn't that this month?

Are you doing epmp on both bands on the dual band itelite? Have you
checked signal to make sure 2g carries farther than 5g?

We have mostly been using the Cambium sectors, but just started
using the ITElite model that does both 2.4 and 5 Ghz on same
sector. A/B comparison was pretty much identical compared to
Cambium on the 2.4 Ghz side and slightly stronger on the 5 Ghz side.
eDetect has its shortcomings. It only picks up 801.11 devices on
same frequency. ePMP doesn’t have remote spectrum analyzer
which would be helpful. (unless it was just added)

Are you using the suggested sectors, Paul?
Should eDetect see TDD and wifi devices?

We have about 250 2.4 SMs deployed with pretty good success.
Where we have had some issues are...
1) direct competitor interference in the band. It does "OK" but
FSK seemed to do much better at it, but probably because of the
lesser SNR requirements as much as the modulation. One tower out
of 10 has this issue for us.
2) highly concentrated neighborhoods where the neighbors house
with his wiz-bang overkill home router causes gried.
TIPS:
1) Use Mikrotik routers EVERYWHERE, EVERY customer... to control
the 2.4 "local" environment as much as possible, scan for problems
etc.
2) Be conscious about what Frequency boxes are checked in the
SMs. Obviously avoid the frequency you have the router at.
If you don't have a second AP that has a good enough
signal (-65 or less) and the customer is NOT on the edge of a
sector, you can keep the second frequency checked
If you have a poor "second AP" signal OR you have a
customer installed on a sector edge, check ONLY the one frequency
of the "good" (proper angled) AP
Doing this, your eDedects will be happy, and you give yourself the
best chance for success. We actually are writing some SNMP
backend stuff to help point out problems in all these areas, and
proactively "fix" them

Haven't even bought any. We're thinking about not even buying any more
2.4 450. It's just too noisy. All the wifi in neighborhoods,
customer's router interfering with the SM, etc. It's pretty much
as horrible as 900 these days.
And if we don't get to keep 5.7 ISM.. things are gonna get shitty.
3GHz is the only place to go, so we're gonna be doing a bunch more
of it this year.
