Please don't let that be an excuse to drop it!
At least give us the ability to turn it on or off if you're headed that
way....
Then we can decide if it's worth the performance hit over ease of
monitoring...

We have something like 20% of our Wimax customers converted to LTE.
Throughput is better in most cases. Latency is about half.
nLOS success is usually similar to Wimax, but we've had a few
surprises. Some CPE actually got worse, but they were generally
fixable with antenna adjustment. Apparently due to layer1 differences
they may respond differently to nearby objects. One specific thing i
can think of is if you have the CPE mounted on the side of the house
such that it looks the long way down the house.....Wimax doesn't seem
to care about having the house next to your path, but LTE did not like
that (SNR went from 25 to 5 in one such case). In another case, the
path turned out to be just barely through dirt. It was clipping the
edge of the hill. Wimax worked with a marginally acceptable signal,
but LTE had no connection at all. I think that was the only one we
lost.....and really with dirt in the way I'm sure we would have
eventually had a problem with the Wimax too.
I like Telrad's Breezeview software. They're going to add some TR-69
support in the next release so Breezeview can be the configuration
server for your CPE, and I'm really looking forward to that.
My only complaint is that there are still some bugs that I can't live
with. It has been getting better with each software release, so I
feel like we're getting closer to victory.
I really really wish the Telrad equipment supported SNMP. I
understand the technical benefits of NetConf and TR-69, but SNMP
software is cheap/free whereas right now software for TR-69 and
NetConf are both $$$. Ultimately I think they're on a path to getting
us good data via Breezeview, which will collect a blend of data from
the Base Station and the CPE, and what we're paying for Breezeview is
not as much as we would pay for a TR-69 ACS and an NMS supporting
NetConf. I still wish there was SNMP....but I think we'll get along
with Breezeview.
The LTE only UE (Telrad 8000) is better than any of the Wimax CPE I've
seen...and somehow it's also cheaper.
Anyway, LTE is a viable alternative to Wimax. You will pay more for
it than you did for Wimax regardless of who the vendor is. There is
also a learning curve....there's a different set of terminology for
everything and more acronyms than you can shake a stick at.

Like you we use Telrad WiMAX. It has been good for us. We will
also transition to LTE soon.

We still have it, yes. Transitioning to LTE.
If you like-hated wimax, then you'll like-hate LTE even more.
If you loved Wimax, then I don't think we can be friends.

Subject: [AFMUG] 3.65 Wimax
Is anyone still operating 3.65 Wimax?
Has any other technology/wireless protocol come along that can
compete with Wimax's superior nLos capability? At any other
bands? I have no interest in 900.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
