Since we have a 2.3Ghz license and use the 3000 product…Yes it delivers! The 3.65Ghz works well but at lower power…it is very hard to compare the two. The challenge we had initially was the delay in the EPC core… it’s rock solid now.
We are running a 10Mhz channel on our licenced gear..we are hitting our predicted 40-42Mbps on the downlink in terms of capacity..so it does deliver. With our previous Wimax and LTE platform, I was luck to get 20-30Mbps out of a sector. For the record, we actually went into full commercial availability as of Jan 15…. And add about 3-6 new subs a day to the Telrad LTE… I’ll let you know how things shake out once it gets loaded up..we have approximately 450 Subs right now.

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 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.

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 ?
