Are we talking about LTE or Wimax?
Of the 4 Wimax systems I've used, the Compact is probably the worst.
I'm assured that all of my problems are fixed when we upgrade to LTE.
I'm not sure I trust the opinions on LTE. People are very focused on
the NLOS performance, and they are still experiencing the "wow" factor
of getting a connection working in a weird place that seems like it
shouldn't work. I haven't seen much conversation about whether the
connection you get is something supportable. Wimax always had the
problem that if the customer tells you something is wrong you have a
hard time proving whether there is or isn't a problem without going on
site. I don't know if LTE on the compact really changes that
situation. I do know the Gemtek CPE still has no damn ethernet stats.
In LTE the AP can use a 20mhz channel at 64QAM and get close to a
hundred meg aggregate on that. You can pay a license fee for dual
carrier mode and use 2 x 20mhz channels to double that. With MU-MIMO at
some future date they expect to double that. So best case is 400meg (I
believe). Since using 40mhz might not be practical, divide that by what
you can actually use.
They do have a capacity planning spreadsheet if you can get in touch
with someone who has it.

Sorry for the on topic content.
Would those of you here who have played enough with the telrad gear
please explain to me the realities of things like capacity per
ap/channel/mhz, distance capability (ie link budget), and the like?
Ie what should really be on a spec sheet.
I'm still trying to dig through the marketing spin to understand the
real capabilities of these units.
