You should probably talk to someone at Cambium, unless someone here has already done that. There was talk 1-2 years ago about 450m is software defined so maybe they could use it as a remote radio head with their cnRanger LTE BaseBand Unit (BBU). It has been pretty quiet since then, but I haven’t been able to make it to the shows.
Without an update directly from the horse’s mouth like Matt at Cambium, or some kind of announcement, I wouldn’t hold my breath. Back in 2018 it was in the realm of “it would be nice”. That’s pretty tentative. Plus you’d still have to buy the BBU and new CPE, so it doesn’t sound like a huge savings anyway, still 2/3 of a forklift upgrade. I mean, if it turned out that the 3 GHz cnRanger RRH was literally a 450m, that would probably be the best case, but how likely do you think that is? This is just my personal speculation, if it’s an important part of a decision you’re making now, you probably need to get hold of your Cambium regional sales manager, or the 450 or cnRanger product manager. If you’re going to WISPAmerica, you can probably do it there.

All but one of the 450 APs are already removed from our network. I am just trying to determine if the SMs will be usable on Cambium LTE once they roll it out, or if it will require a completely different SM.
