Hi Josh,
Thanks for the pictures.
I'm glad 450m is working so well for you.
Looks like you've got plenty of room to add subscribers and/or bigger packages there !
Some really good MU-MIMO rates on the SM/VCs as well as the overall rate.
> 400Mbps is cool :)
(or whatever the hip phrase is now, 'sick' maybe, need to watch some more snowboarding at the Winter Olympics to catch up with the latest)
Thanks again,
Andy.
We have high group size 1 high too on many 450m (40%-50% even 60%).
It's so bad? We have planned coverage with linkplanner
Hi Telemar,
You have some pictures from the Statistics Page, so these numbers are more a reflection of your current traffic.
So , no , I don't think you have a problem
My comment about 'group of 1' was based on the 'Link Test to Multiple VC' output in tools. Which should force data to all VCs and provide the best grouping possible. In this particular case I think the problem was due to not selecting 'Low Priority VCs only' in the options when running the test AND having a large number of High Priority VCs on the network. We are currently investigating this to make sure we understand though, so I will update later.
Thanks,
Andy.
when we put a SM on the 450M, we change their bandwidth to 25 mbps or 50 mbps. do you think, given these numbers, we can push to 100 mbps packages to our subs?
Hi Josh,
You may want to start, if you don't already, monitoring radio stats to give you a handle on capacity before you move the packages up.
See earlier posts on this thread and
I'm NOT a WISP so I'm not sure I can offer definitive advice here, I don't know if the users are even pushing the packages they have already. Most of the time they won't be and you've probably got the capacity to handle it even if 4 or more users decide to download all series of 'Game of Thones' at the same time.
Then there is the matter of SLAs, are you guaranteeing the 25/50/100 mbps, 24/7, 100% of the time or an 'up to' figure.
From what you've shared so far the sector has plenty more to give than the current loading. So in theory, yes introducing 100 mbps subs gradually while monitoring seems fine but I'd welcome the input from any WISPs on the forum before going ahead !
best regards,
Andy.

Hi Michael,
Thank you, some nice numbers there.
With sector utilization only at 64% and with those good group size numbers (4 & 5) I expect it will go up to >200Mbps if needed.
best regards,
Andy.
Mike - Are any of those 125 subs using the 450b? How are these performing for you?
of the 129 SM's (added 4 more today)
29 - 450
16 - 450i
84 - 450b

Thanks Mike,
Nice to see all flavours of 450,450i,450b and 450m playing nicely together !
Andy.
Today is less performance generally we have around 540 Mb/s :-)
30 Mhz channel with 36 client
Thanks for the updates,
If you are monitoring the peak throughput on the 450m with normal user traffic is the demand from users pushing you near to these numbers yet ?
best regards,
Andy.
users demand is around 150 mb/s in peak time I think we have room to put 100 cpes more with 100/5 mb/s service before to switch to 40mhz channel :-)
@beppeorowrote:users demand is around 150 mb/s in peak time I think we have room to put 100 cpes more with 100/5 mb/s service before to switch to 40mhz channel :-)
Thanks, I look forward to seeing the results with the extra cpes & 40MHz soon !
Andy.
We have always left the AP QOS at the default 155Mbps up and down.
With one 450m we were noticing data stopping at 150Mbps.
We then changed the QoS to 240Mbps down, 70Mbps up.
Data for the 120 customers went from 155Mbps to 180Mbps.
Lesson learned......and Cambium, 310Mbps is not enough total QoS capacity for 40Mbps channels.

Thanks Michael,
Great datarate and interesting observation on the QoS cap. I'll look in to it, especially with UL MU-MIMO and other DL MU-MIMO improvements on the way.
best regards,
Andy.
Hi Michael,
Sorry for the delay getting back on the QoS issue.
These settings are used by an SM if no other setting is available as the 'authenication server'
some more details are in this thread
An individual SM can never get more than 310Mbps total (even in 40MHz 5ms) so that is where that number is from.
It may have been better if this was automatically adjusted to reflect the DL percentage in the radio page settings. On 40MHz it is not unreasonable to go over 155Mbps DL to an individual SM (even at 64QAM) so yes well spotted that this needed changing too !
So in summary it's an setting used on a per SM basis (if no other QoS server setting is found) not throughput at the AP that is being set here and it should reflect the DL percentage. Link Test to a single SM will give you the theoretical max throughput in each direction for 6X and 8X performance.
Do you have some users with 'unlimited' packages on the sector doing speed tests ? :)
Hope that makes sense. Not a part of the user guide I had ever read before !
best regards,
Andy.
Hi,
I've just been chatting with a US WISP who has allowed me to share the Link Test results they have in a 20MHz channel, 75% DL, 3 mile range and 4 contention slots. They hope to get around 150 SMs (from 36 now) on here in the near future. This might just squeak in as the best on 20MHz so far. Good grouping being seen.
