Has anyone done a comparison or know of a whitepaper between LTE and
Cambium? I am mainly looking at tree penetration or lower DB signals to
actual throughput comparison. I have been told that LTE gets a little
better tree penetration but if that is at a low rate that really doesn't
help any.

It comes down to complexity. Ericsson, Nokia, etc are all cellular
brands and to run and manage those complex LTE networks, you need full
time engineers to manage, debug, and optimize things.
Cambium is so easy, in comparison, there's very little extra learning
to do in order to get it running great. Ericsson LTE probably would
require months of training and needing to hire someone just to run the
gear or hire expensive consultants to do it for you.

450m is the only way to do, especially if your already using the
450 platform in other parts of your network, there is an operator
in my area with the Ericson system and they had a ton of issues
with getting it up and running, not even sure if they ever got it
all resolved.

Yup what josh said lol.
We tried the LTE thing and glad we switch to 450m...much easier.

Having done one LTE vendor and 450m the only mistake I
made was not buying the 450m sooner.

And yeah, 450m might be expensive, but so is all the
LTE stuff.
You'll max out the legal EIRP with 450m, and get 8x8
MIMO. I think
part of the magic with LTE is that it will connect
with ridiculously
low signal, but on a fixed system you probably won't
really want the
trashy signals anyway.
Cambium also has LTE for whatever it's worth. The
CBRS version
is supposed to be available relatively soon (though I
forget
precisely when).
I don't know if I state it as "fewer issues since
there is no
EPC", but definitely fewer complexities and fewer
things to worry
about. The connection from eNB to EPC has to be
/pristine/,
and the EPC comes with its own set of new terminology
and new
concepts to figure out.

I have seen lots to people doing 450M in CBRS
stating coverage is nearly the same as LTE but way
better speeds
and triple the aggregate capacity due to mu-mimo.
Way fewer issues too since there is no EPC. Just
straight layer 2 with no bullshit.

We are looking at a new area to
expand out network that has a lot more tree cover
than
our current footprint. We are thinking with the
combination of CBRS and LTE, that we might be able to
offer better coverage than with traditional fixed
wireless options. We have started conversations
with
the following vendors, wondering if anyone has
any hands
on experience with any of them and what their
impressions were:
Blinq
Airspan
Baicells
Ericsson
The Ericsson equipment is in a class
by itself price wise, but the others are similarly
priced, and somewhere around double the price of
PMP 450
stuff. Normally we would add more tower sites for
better coverage, but this project will need to be
done
before the end of the year and building towers
isn’t an
option. We have good enough spread on the
towers that
we think we can do this with PMP 450 APs, but are
thinking we’d get even better coverage out of
LTE. Any
opinions on the reliability and the manageability
of the
four vendors above? Sorry for such an open ended
question, but not sure what to ask to be more
specific. We know that we will have the LTE
stuff to
deal with like access to an EPC and so on, so not so
much worried about that as more the manufacturers
themselves. Baicells concerns us as they may get
lumped in with Huawei.
Thoughts?
