We do both nLOS and NLOS here without much issue. Just dont try it thru
any pine or needle type
trees. Most nLOS shots we have are around 5 and 6 mile and NLOS are
around 3 and 4
Anything below a -76db for total strength we question it due to rain
fade and other unpredictable
weather issues that may occur unless its LOS.

don't use the connectorized version. use a bare SM or SM with reflector.
use the cambium 90* sector antenna
as long as you are not trying to do nLOS or NLOS you should be fine.
you might get away with one tree in the way but not much else.

Hey guys,
We have not yet tried any of the PMP 450 gear in 3.65 and
wondering if you have any advice and info on how we can
successfully try one sector. We have 8 customers on a 2.4 Ubiquiti
sector with heavy interference and we need them off that ASAP.
They're all within 1 mile of tower site with signals from -50 to
-65 on nanobeams and they all fall within a 90 degree coverage
pattern.
Would we be better off buying the bare SM's with a reflector dish
or getting the connectorized version and finding a panel or dish
antenna? Any recommendations for either kind of antenna?
We should be fine with the Lite-AP for now since we have under 10
customers we want to trial this with. For doing standalone, do we
need the CMM of Packetflux gear or can we just purchase standalone
power supply and GPS antennas?
Should we use the standard Cambium recommend 90 degree antenna or
would you recommend another brand like KP Performance or Ubiquiti?
Also, who would have best price on Cambium gear with our normal
discount? We purchase from Streakwave and Doubleradius and
wondering if other master distributors might have better pricing
than these two?
If I think of anything else, I'll fire it off to the list.
Thank you
