George, Lots of near line of site on this location. We used it to offload old 900fsk. Ill put up 5ghz but not until summer when leaf cover is in full bloom.

It isn't too hard to overload the front-end in the ePMP 1k. Just like the RocketM. I really doubt they're going to do a 2.4 ePMP 2000. Can you try a 40MHz channel on one of the 2.4 APs and shut the other one off? I don't know your setup and terrain, but I would try an ePMP 2k and off-load the customers with good LOS.

We have put a lot of SMs onto the AP and before it gets to congested we wanted to add an additional AP. It turns out most of the customers are covered by a 90 degree sector so we put up a second 90 degree sector( again KP ) �on 2.4. I think where we screwed up is we installed this new sector with 3 feet of horizontal separating from the other sector and no vertical separation.

Its better but they still drop and register over and over. � � So my question is. Has anyone put two 2.4 sectors on the same tower pointing the same direction successfully? How much vertical separation did you use? I am assuming vertical is going to be better than what I did. � How much of a guard band did you use? � The 120 degree sector is older so it doesn�t have the same shielding on top and bottom as the newer 90 degree KP sector. Just FYI. � Thanks, Brandon � � � �
