Hi,
I have a doubt about how an integrator did this installation of a ePMP3000. They use two antennas RF Elements HG3-CC-A90 to bring a 180 degrees sector for the AP 3000. But I am not sure if we are using a correct design and if we are doing well with the performance of the AP.

Could someone help me with your comments and advice?. Please.

Considerations:

  1. How does this antenna array affect the operation and performance of the AP 3000?
  2. If the AP 3000 is capable of serving two SMs simultaneously, can it continue to do so with this array of antennas? What about the MU-MIMO?.
  3. Under this antenna configuration, can the AP 3000 continue to support the 120 SM per sector? There is two sectors, so how is the balance of this matter?
  4. How is the 1.2 Gbps capacity of the AP affected by this antenna configuration?
  5. If the antenna configuration is valid, Is the connection order of the antenna connectors do it in the correct sequence in the AP antenna connectors?

Hello,

answer between the lines

Considerations:

  1. How does this set of antennas affect the operation and performance of the AP 3000?

R// It does not affect the performance of the radio at all

  1. If the AP 3000 is capable of serving two SMs simultaneously, can it continue to serve with this set of antennas? What about MU-MIMO?

R// MU-MIMO continues to work but only with AC equipment such as force300csm or force300-25 etc.

  1. With this antenna configuration, can the AP 3000 still support all 120 SMs per sector? There are two sectors, so how is the balance of this matter?

R// The 120 SM is by radio, not by sector, that means that you could admit the same 120 SM; now the amount in real life depends on the capacity of the AP in the air, the client’s radio, the plans, and etc, etc, etc. The number 120 is just a reference point that changes for each scenario.

  1. How is the 1.2 Gbps capacity of the AP affected by this antenna configuration?

R// you can achieve it if your scenario is ideal, noise, interference and 80Mhz channel that I don’t use at least

  1. If the antenna configuration is valid, does the connection order of the antenna connectors make it in the correct sequence on the AP antenna connectors?

R// Connect one horn to chain 0 and 1, connect second horn to 2 and 3.

Thanks a lot folks. Both (micampo and brublee1) make me understand this matter. My best regards for you.
