Yes, with wifi based radio systems you can see less throughput with sync than without.
With Canopy the DL% is fixed regardless if the AP is getting the sync pulse from GPS or generating it itself. i.e. if you set the DL% to 75% it's fixed regardless if the bandwidth is being used or not. With .11 radios the DL% is dynamic and will adjust according to demand (which is why they are NOT in sync with other .11 radios). When you sync them, the DL is no longer dynamic. So if you had a .11-based BH that has 90% downlink traffic and force it to sync the DL% may only be 50% which would look like half. Does that help? - Jerry From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jeromie Reeves Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 7:31 AM To: sc...@brevardwireless.com; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] GPS Sync / or Sync between devices at site without GPS Question I do not know how the Radwin Sync works. With Canopy, you do not lose bandwidth unless you do not have the timing the same. You can adjust settings in such a way as to not step on yourself and still have different bandwidth profiles with Canopy. I do not see why sync would lose any bandwidth, unless it is cause now you only have X Transit tie and Y receive tie instead of X+%Y.

All of our gear in the past did not have the capability to sync across devices to save spectrum and/or reduce interference between local devices. In this case I used two Radwin 2000C backhauls with a sync cable between them. Setting up the sync between them was easy however the first thing I noticed was that the available bandwidth was cut in half. Is this typical of all synced units? I guess there would be no more reduction in speed after the first two radios synced because if there were more they would all fire at the same time any way. Did I loose bandwidth because they were in MIMO mode rather than Diversity mode or is the slowdown just a function of the timing reduction to keep things clean? Is the UBNT GPS sync gear going to provide less throughput than I currently experience when their new sync capable gear comes out? Thanks, just trying to get some feedback to learn more about how Syncing devices affects their performance. Scott Carullo Technical Operations 855-FLSPEED x102 Error!
