Lower recording signal between epmp 3000 with panel and 4500 integrated panel

Hello, in one of our systems, we’ve combined an EPMP 3000 with an EPMP 4x4 MU-MIMO panel with an EPMP 4500 with an integrated panel.

The 4500 was set to migration mode because we have several EPMP Force 200 and 190 panels. Both panels deliver the same power, but we immediately noticed that clients on the 4500 panel averaged 10 dBm of upload and download losses, while the more centrally located panel still has 4 dBm of loss.

Is there actually such a significant power difference between the two panels?

Obviously, it’s a problem because those who already have a signal of around 70 dBm obviously won’t be able to connect anymore…

Thanks for the information.

Have you used a tool like linkplanner to calculate the ideal downtilt for the new sector? It has a different radiation pattern than the 3k sector.
