cnReach supports both PTP and PMP modes. The number of end points will vary from application to application but the values below can be helpful in providing guidance:
-
What is the theoretical maximum number of end points on a cnReach access point?
- The theoretical limit based on addressing scheme is 4,096.
-
What is the maximum number of end points per cnReach AP achieved in a real-world deployment?
- The current maximum deployment in 900 MHz unlicensed spectrum is 260 end points to a single access point.
-
What is the recommended maximum number of end points per cnReach AP?
- Cambium recommends 50-70 end points per access point in a 900 MHz unlicensed spectrum deployment depending on polling cycle times, message sizes and achievable modulations.
- In licensed spectrum this number will vary even more because of the limited capacity available in very narrow channel sizes.
