We've swapped out 10 more 2.4Ghz clients last week over to Cambium ePMP. Clients are seeing MUCH better performance - our old (non-Cambium) gear was struggling to even deliver 1-2 Mbit at peak times. We had kinda resigned ourselves to ''oh well, that's 2.4Ghz and with all the noise, what can you expect?" Besides, with all the trees we have here, there's not a lot of choice, right?
WRONG. Switch to Cambium ePMP - same clients and in many cases, we've removed the non-Cambium gear and used the connectorized ePMP1000's and use their existing mounts and their existing antennas. We can now get 20-25+ Mbit at peak usage times to these same clients using only a 10 Mhz channel width now with Cambium ePMP in 2.4Ghz.
One thing it would be good to see in cnMaestro... it'd be great to see the Azimuth displayed. cnMaestro already displays the AP and SM's location, and it already calculates and displays the distance - so it should be simple math to also display the Azimuth. That would really help for those customer's who are near the edge of a couple sectors - it'd be great to have cnMaestro tell me if that customer is at 42 degrees or 48 degrees and we could then determine what is the best sector to connect them to.
This client for example is 9:42 KM away - and it'd be helpful to see her Azimuth displayed right under the ''Distance: 9.42km"
PS - I've gone to the ''Your Ideas'' area and added it as a suggestion. Everyone Kudo/Vote for this if you'd like the idea and would like to see that implemented. :)
