900 mhz and the advantage software

Products PMP
1

I have recently purchased some 900 equipment and plan on deploying within the next 2 weeks. Being that new does it have the latest software i.e. Advantage software? I am in a hotel room tonight or I’d go look at the version to see what is in the AP’s SM’s. Any suggestions about deployment on 900 would be appreciated.

Love it, just love it.

I use v6.1 Canopy Software on the integrated 9000AP’s. I am on a mountain with some cellular and paging, and the system still works very well.

I have a mix of 900, 2.4, and 5.7 (all running 6.1) and the whole system is just running great. Longest shot is 15 miles and the signal is over 1000 and the jitter is under 3

did I mention the system works well?

All 900 MHz radios are Advantage units.

Thanks to all. I am implementing the system in a few days. What type of latency should I expect from the 900 gear? I am hoping it will satisfy the gamers and anyone wanting to do VOIP.

I have a subscriber on a non-advantage 5700 using 3 VoIP lines and it works fine.

Provided you have a solid link and low jitter, you won’t have any problem. Just make sure you do a spectrum analysis of the proposed AP location. Paging tower interference is a pain.

FWIW We did see drastic improvements in ping times and stability after we upgraded the entire network to 6.1.
