Is this release recommended for non CBRS users? If we are on 16.1.1.1 should we upgrade?

16.2.1 has the Uplink Frame Utilization fix to make the stat accurate.
We have discovered an issue with PTP 450 BHM. Once PTP 450 BMH are on 16.2.1, in order to flash to a new version, they will need to enable via SNMP (no web or config file) autoUpdateFileServer option, then reboot. This is a bug that we are fixing in 16.2.2. We recommend waiting to upgrading PTP 450 links at this time.
That is the only major issue we have found with 16.2.1 at this time.
I see in the release notes that 16.2.1 supports the 450b Retro.
Is that a hopeful sign the hardware will materialize at some point in the near future? And will that actually be the name?

Yes, 16.2.1 and forward has 450b Retro support. And yes that is the name. :)
We are starting testing newly materialized fully assembled Retro units now. Unless any issues come up, we are expecting to be shipping in September.
Also included in 16.2.1 is 450 MicroPoP support.
Will the 450b retro be both 5.x and 3.x bands?

Initially, we doing the 450b Retro in the same 4.9-5.9 GHz band. The 450b Retro at 3 GHz is still being considered.
Any feedfack on operators using this? anything major or minor to report?

We've updated our whole network, over 1000 radios and all seems well.

What is the 450b Retro?

It's the 450b radio in the original SM form factor that can be used with reflector dishes.
The same SM's chassis that can be used with the classic reflector dishes like the old SM's?
There's a photo or a link?
