It would be a bear to get it mounted on the towers . I asked more out of curiosity. We use omni antennas as a fall back if a sector fails. Since we are converting existing towers and deploying new towers with 450i 900 I would love to run 4 90 degree sectors with an omni above or below them. 10mhz channels on the sectors and a 5mhz on the omni. We try and have redundancy on every AP and backhaul I just have not settled on a good way to do it with the 450i 900 yet.

Every few years they have to be replaced because the internals rust out, but we are used to identifying the issue and replacing them when it happens. So, does anyone have any NIB ODH9-9 omnis they are willing to part with? Or am I going to have to switch to Amphenol? Regards, Chuck
