Hi!
If I in a tower have 8x PtP links. to different clients. 8x ePMP 4500L with RF Elements Ultrahorn… would 4500L with UltraHorn at the client be (much) better than a Force425 at the client?
LinkPlanner gives me the same results, but I’m thinking mostly about interference resistance (at both ends) - is it (much) better with identical horns at both sites?
Again, this is PtP…
You should save yourself some money and use the F400c w/RFE UltraDish 27, or 29.
The F400c and F4500L are the same radio… the only difference is the price and that the F4500L is keyed to allow for PtMP AP use.
We’ve done testing with UltraHorn vs. similar gain UltraDish, and found that for client use, or environments without a lot of adjacent interference, the UltraDish worked better, was smaller, easier to mount and cheaper. UltraHorn is better to use at a large tower site where you need to reject interference from adjacent/rear radiators.
Thank you very much, this is very helpful!
But you mean to use F400c at both ends? Also at the tower? I thought the GPS was a good feature at a tower, or is that only a benefit for PmP?
Sorry, I got this a bit wrong… the F400c/F425 do not have GPS sync, unlike the 4500L. So if you need GPS sync for a PtP or PtMP, then the AP/master side of the link will still need a 4500L. On the SM/slave side of the link, you can use an F400c/F425.
If you don’t need GPS sync, then you’re fine to use the F400c/F425 on both ends of the PtP link.
Keep in mind that if you’re using TDD flexible or ePTP modes, that those do not support GPS sync, even if it’s available on the hardware.
