Performance difference between F425 and F4525 at same distance?

Hi,

We’ve been using F425s as PtP links for a while now to great success - Since the 4525 also works in PtP mode, we were curious if there was any notable performance difference between the two, given identical link parameters? Obviously you would want the 425 if you needed the extra few dbi of gain, but other than that is there any notable difference in performance between the two radios? Thanks in advance for any input.

Couple things to highlight:

  • F400/425 has SFP+ port and 1G Ethernet, F4525 has 1G Ethernet only;
  • F4525 doesn’t have dedicated radio for Spectrum Analysis;
  • F400/425 has slightly higher PPS 450K vs 425K and slightly better small packets processing as the result;

Long story short, I would suggest using F4525 as SMs in PtMP deployments and use F400/425 for backhaul PTP links.

Thanks.

We really like to use the F400c and F4600c with RFE twist port adapters and their high gain ultra dish series. This config is far more versatile then being stuck with the 25dBi fixed gain dish in of F425, F4525, and F4625.

They have a 29dBi ultra wide-band twist port dish coming soon!
