I think it’s mostly a matter of managing the expectations and what you want 3.65 to do. Both platforms overall capacity are degraded by customers with poor signals. LTE hangs on longer in low signal environments than 450. Cambium seems to do better in interference. If you have a area with little noise (and not much potential for future noise) LTE might be better for you. Pay close attention to the modulation rates, signal level, and overall capacity of the AP. Cambium is likely better in areas with more noise.
