We are small Wisp and after doing research about epmp I can say that as soon as mikrotik is supported to elevate to epmp we will be moving to epmp 2000 and smart beam antenna`s.
I am very excited to not have 1 bad cpe kill my sector`s throughput.
Keep up good work and hope it will not take to long.
Because we strive to visit your technology is essential for us that information. If it will be possible only on certain products mikrotik would take us info wondering including on new purchases. Thank you
Here we will probably not answer the answers, even if it is enough to be released only on some boards. I'm going to be a betatester, but since someone does not react here I can see it badly :-(
I am constently chasing with you guys to check on the mikrotik 5ghz support on elevate product line.
We are really desperate and the cablguys are taking away our business and we desperately need elevate support to ratin our customers.
Most of our CPE are Mikrotik SXT Lite 5 and LHG 5
Please help ASAP.
Thanks,
Nirmal
If you've gotten to the point the cable companies are eating up your subs, I'd suggest proactively changing out CPEs. if your depending on cambium to save your clientel, Cambium won't release the product until they are confident it is going to perform, thats what cambium is known for. (which is why they have such good performing product)
keep in mine the Elevate product is design to help you transition to the epmp line, its not ment to be a permanent thing (it definably can be). but show your customers your making the effort and show face. we have used elivate for our UBNT xw gear, but the XM will be or has been replaced because of the performance factor. the cost of the CPEs vs the reward we got from making those people happy just don't compare. if your in a pinch, If i were in your shoes i'd be showing up and replacing hardware quickly. hoping cambium will release a product in the next few days probably won't work out well. they've been vocal about running into issues getting TIK hardware working correctly. that being said, i'm sure they will resolve it, but waiting for something that doesn't have an expected release date could end up badly in your situation.
Problem I see with changing equipment now is no ac support from Campium yet.
For us which have Tik equipment and thousands od customers problem is that we need to invest lots of money for Cambium equipment transition and in year or so do one more transition to ac equipment. Customers are demanding more and more speed.
Elevate option would be great solution for transitional period until Cambium presents ac products. Then we could invest and change all equipment, it would be 3+ years investment.
I can’t speak for cambium but for now, i doubt they are making a near tearm release to elivate ubnt or tik AC gear. When cambium has AC in the family, possibly but I’d dare to guess last quarter this year before a time is even announced. The AC PTP radios are due out Q4 thid year.
Id imagine youre wanting to jump ship because the tiks arent performing as youd like ?
We moved off of ubnt hardware long before elivate was announced. Most profitable decision we’ve made.
In your shoes i would change your poorest performing areas to epmp and wait for the elivate, but if your business depends on elivating the broken gear now, ive got a feeling the AC versions are still a long ways off.
