First time I ever met with Motorola, they had their whole RF design team in the
room and I was showing the stinger. I needed their help to get the FCC
approval. I took it apart and showed them everything about it. Then they
asked me if I had considered a dielectric lens antenna.
I said yes,
Wasn’t there some guy on Youtube trying to make his own Stinger with 2 dinner
plates or something? And more recently wasn’t there some foreign company
selling knockoff Stingers?
Strangest had to be Motorola’s LENS. Weighed a ton. Good doorstops, or for
cracking walnuts.

At least they have a Goretex (or similar) vent. Otherwise sealing up something
exposed to temperature swings can be bad because it creates a vacuum that
literally sucks water in via even microscopic cracks.
How many installers have looked at that vent and thought it was for plugging in
Yeah I wanted to mention that when I started reading the thread.
Personally IP67 is not as important to me as simply being "rain proof",
and I have learned to have more faith in outdoor devices that have a
drain on the bottom rather than ones that try to be perfectly sealed.
If you've been at
My guys in the field have complained and complained about the new design.
But they do like the fact that inventory parts lists can be reduced with
the new SM style. No dishes, no stingers (sorry Chuck), no license keys. We
take the good with the bad on this.

I've seen a few used Force 200 radios come back from collection with a
broken tab on the cover. Also, we've lost a number of Canopy radios over
the years when rain got into them after the pole blew over or a
customer/competitor left it laying on the ground, so I'm all for a bit more
installation
No commercial FSO exists at 5 miles (8km) -
Generally, atmospherics mean long range FSO has lower availability than
most users will tolerate, so the technology is best for short range links.
10Gbps MMW at 8km is certainly possible in some regions:
We have already done this for some customers in
It looks like the 450b uses pretty much the same dish as the ePMP Force
200... I wonder why they went with that goofy gland and bolt on cover
instead of just doing a snap on cover like on the ePMP.
I agree that the naming is stupid - they're doing the same thing with the
ePMP line now, with the
dbi dbd...
220 221 whatever it takes

My complaint is not about the integral dish, but
My complaint is not about the integral dish, but the specific implementation of
the cover and gland. The 450d was not a problem. The 450b mid gain is not a
problem. Naming them both 450b was stupid though.
BTW, note that it’s not really 25 dBi, didn’t they finally fess up and change

To a point I agree. Look at how much nicer a 25dbi dish is over a
reflector+patch radio, though. It keeps costs down (since everyone's doing
the cheapo 25dbi instead of trying to get by without a bare SM). Gain is
good.
Ubnt Nanostation copied the Canopy idea, mostly. They moved to dishes.
We've done a couple of sloped NPRM with a 5? foot pole mounting 2' dishes
for residential installs. Probably half a dozen in the last year.
Going up to 3' is a decent jump up in wind load, but I believe it would be
sufficient with the 6 blocks. Worst case get another couple blocks.

first thing i do with EPMP, it looks like it would apply here too is pull
the cover off, throw away thi little clear plastic thing and tape the cover
to the mount with two or three wraps of tape.this way its not in your hand
or pocket and never ends up on the ground, plus if you ever have to

It drives me crazy that Cambium continually spends more time staring at what
other companies have done and trying to copy them than looking internally at
what made their own products the best in class.
The original Canopy case design was damn near perfect - inverted cup that
didn’t fill
I hate it too. Seems like they should have that design for ePMP and
something nicer for 450. =)
What would be nice is a door with a hinge, so there aren't multiple
pieces you can drop and ruin your day.
