Let say my company have 3 sites SITE1 HQ: -Cisco 3750 -Cambium ePMP or E Series? -VLAN 1,10,20,30
SITE2: -Cisco 3750 -Cambium ePMP or E Series? -VLAN 1,10,20,30
SITE3: -Cisco 3750 -Cambium ePMP or E Series? -VLAN 1,10,20,30
QUESTIONS
1. I want all VLANs in HQ also available in BRANCH sites I read PMP better than MESH for that kind of purpose Should I use ePMP or E series for VLAN Trunking 2. What are the differences between PMP and MESH
3. In what situation, I should choose MESH instead of PMP 4. I belive I should set trunk port in all 3750 port connecting to Cambium What else need to be done

you'll want epmp for what you are describing.
you don't need to setup anything for vlaning as they are trunk by default. use your switch to handle the vlans so you have one less device to handle.
MESH is good for low traffic devices to fill in areas of coverage. unique access is always better for higher traffic situations. the EPMP media access control is very different from wifi, and handles high traffic better than wifi. the cambium WIFI solutions are great, but at the end of the day, its wifi. the best performing device in the epmp for site to site applications is the F300 (most bandwidth, good gain, and latency)
the technical differences between the two aren't something easily explained in a forum post. you'll read for a day or two on that subject and still have plenty of learning to do.
E series is designed for devices like phones and computers to access a network. its capable of backhauling information, but the EPMP is purpose build for that application.
