i wonder if it will really happen. I've hearing for some years about "magically" high throughput numbers, usually coming "real soon now". But when you dig, it requires 80M channels, perfect modulation, zero interference, amazing signal strength, blah, blah, blah. And the promise of giant buckets of bandwidth going down the 20M channels which exist in the real world seem precariously rare. I hope it happens, but not holding my breath. If this new tech gets me a least part of the way there though, I'll be dropping my rep a line and getting a few cases of them to roll out in some areas.
The PMP450m on release will support an aggregate capacity of 400mbps out of the gate using a 20MHz channel width, and again, as mentioned, there's a very robust roadmap to take that to over 1gbps with FREE firmware updates. You should check out this video here with Cambium's Matt Mangriotis going over the 450m and the roadmap. This is the power of massive, multi-user mimo aka cnMedusa technology that no other radio manufacturer has engineered or has announced any development of. The only thing that comes close is 8TX8RX LTE, which costs 10's of thousands of dollars more then 450m.
One of the things that Cambium has consistently focused on is squeezing more bandwidth out of smaller channel widths, and providing more advanced interference mitigation techniques... whereas other vendors, like Ubiquiti and Mimosa seem to have gone the opposite direction... quoting throughput that requires massive channel widths and clients that are very very close (1 mile or less) from the AP.
