Actually it shows an end date for telrad, followed by a new job entry which 
doesn't give much info.

  Patrick’s Linkedin profile doesn’t seem to mention Telrad, so maybe something 
did change?

      That is quite the thorough explanation and I sincerely appreciate it. The 
effort to describe that in detail was great thanks. I have mixed feelings about 
an issue that requires an Israeli hit squad to come fix it but I assume that 
was on 3.65 and not true licensed. I am not sure if I would spend the money if 
I couldn't do it on
      licensed. 
      But all together a solid recommendation.

        I’ll pipe in.  



        We were/are an early adopter of LTE.  I can tell you that buying into 
the Telrad system has been a very good move for us.  As of today, almost 450 
Subscribers and 30 sectors deployed in 2.3Ghz and 3.65Ghz.  We have a total 
build commitment consisting of 70 sectors and 2 EPC cores on our network.  From 
there…who knows.  



        We have been deploying 4 sectors with Back to Back frequency reuse 
using 2 eNodeB’s in split mode.  Once we fill it up, we will deploy additional 
AP’s and continue to fill…..then once MU-Mimo is running we will double our 
subscriber possibility.



        Now that we have Breezeview running and ACS, we have complete 
visibility into our UE’s and infrastructure.  The piece we need to get 
integrated is Powercode and the EPC.



        Was the LTE piece sold too early???…YES… Is it ready for commercial 
deployment now?….YES.  Because of early adoption, we certainly appreciate the 
features and stability of the platform and EPC at this point. Thanks to other 
customers that adopted early, like us, many bugs and issues have been resolved. 
 

        Another point to remember is that the technology has been heavily 
deployed by National Carriers in the WiMAX flavour as Alvarion…the hardware is 
hardened and works well in extremely cold temperatures and heat….and lightning 
resilient because of field proven/hardened components. 



        LTE is absolute magic…. Our installers are loving a working, 
predictable platform now that we have a strong understanding of capabilities 
and I love the fact that new features are a software upgrade away. We are 
filling our schedules with customers that have been waiting a long time for our 
deployment.  I can tell you we wasted a lot of money with other 
platforms/vendors, but I am very happy with our decision to go with Telrad.



        Also, kudos to Telrad.  They have been absolutely terrific on the 
customer service front too…we had some very weird issues just before Christmas, 
they sent Guy from Israel on boxing day and we spent a week in the field 
diagnosing problems and solving them. Most of the problems were related to 
outside interference and on tower interference.  This field diagnosing and 
knowledge level that Guy has in the product definitely instilled confidence in 
the product and sealed my faith in the decision I made to move forward with 
them.  







        Cheers,

          We deploy mainly LOS with canopy 450 5ghz.  However the telrad 
equipment has been amazing at connecting clients that are buried in trees. I'm 
extremely satisfied with the performance of the system...when it works.  I 
added the qualifier of "when it works" because I feel like we've been a bit of 
a beta tester.  It's a very new product on the bleeding edge and it's getting 
better all the time but we definetly bled more blood than I would have liked.

            It seems as if the telrad discussions have gone cold, seriously 
looking at it for a new deployment but wanted to get some feedback from current 
users, Gino? Etc

            They have priced me out at about 45k for 4 radios, 4 sectors and 
the basic EPC. $285 for the CPE. This is a fortune compared to anything else, 
but if you can truly reach many more customers and load the aps higher it may 
pincel out for me...

            So what's the word ?
