We have over 100 450m’s deployed.
Lots of dense towers.
Fork lift upgrade of a Mikrotik network (still ongoing).
Over 150 customers on over a dozen of the 450m’s, have had over 200 customers and it performed fine.
670Mbps aggregate capacity in 40Mhz channels
If you have the customer density, they are magical.

We have a site that has 3-4 fairly loaded ePMP 2K sectors (30 deg horns). There are a large number of customers in a single 90 degrees. While we could probably upgrade to ePMP 3K to get a bit of a boost, there is still a
cost associated in replacing all the CPE to get the full benefit.

At this point, we're trying to determine if something like 450M makes sense for this 90 degrees of coverage. The cost is obviously much higher, but I think it may be a better solution in the long run. If we could find a spare 20Mhz, we could run both our existing ePMP radios and the 450M at the same
time while we cut subscribers over.

Are there other people here who have been in similar situations and have deployed 450M? I realize the performance of the 450M is dependent upon CPE locations, but overall, were you happy with the boost in performance in general? I feel like most people who have upgraded to 450M were already running 450, so you didn't really have to forklift all CPE. If that were
the case, I think it would be a no-brainer.

Interested in hearing any success (or failure) stories about people who
have upgraded to 450M...
