The F/B ratio stated on the spec sheet is over 30db.
I imagine you're not directly behind it.

I can hit back of sector antenna 7 ish miles for my house to mountain
and get -85dBm... It's an epmp with a Cambium sector....Wish front to
back ratios was better on sectors..Not sure if shields would help....I
suggested to WISP to use building to shield...

ePMP doesn't automatically jump between sectors at all. I tested this
with 3.2 in the last few months. There are a bunch of customers
getting -75 from the south facing sector when east is -60. It's been
a good month on the wrong sector at this point. I expect a manual
rescan or reboot would fix it.

I normally deploy 4 120 sectors on a tower. ABAB frequency. No
issues observed Keep 5mhz guard between AB and you should be fine.
Almost all customers can see more than 1 sector. Just waiting for
automatic rescan in EPMP to automatically put them back on the
strongest sector after an AP Reboot.

I'm thinking if you put a guard band between the adjacent sectors
you'll be fine. If the F/B ratio is comparable to the Cambium
sector antenna then you should be able to do F/B re-use. It takes a
pretty high F/B ratio though.

We have 3 KP Performance 120 degree sectors on a tower with ePMP.
It was the first tower we did with ePMP, and hindsight being 20/20
I would have done 40 90s to get the F/B Frequency reuse benefit.
If we add another 120 and make them all N S E W (4 total) I would
have about 30 degrees of overlap per sector. What is that going to
do with ePMP performance, if anything?
