I’d have to go back to my class notes from 5 years ago, I’m not sure they stated a maximum. I’m sure the cloud system that acts as the intermediary between us and the SAS (cnMaestro if you’re using Cambium) will reject numbers beyond a certain point. There’s no advantage to doing that, it j

It probably depends on where you're at. We live at the end of a 3/4 mile driveway in the middle of nowhere. We have a security camera above the driveway about 1100-1200 feet from the house (as the driveway drives). Because of where we're at, if someone saw the camera, they would probably sho

Yeah, the PMP320 should only be using 3650-3700, so if nobody else is using CBRS in the area, 3550-3650 would be unused (that's a big if, obviously). I would definitely consider those 100 subs to be a liability with negative value. On Sat, Nov 30, 2024, 6:16 PM Ken Hohhof wrote: > I think pre-C

It was advertised as up to 45mbps in a 10mhz channel. It depends on your TDD ratio though. In real life we were getting 30-35Mbps, but we were fussy about getting a minimum target signal level. I don’t think we could get more than 12mbps to a single subscriber, and I think that was a limitati

People in our rural areas are saying they need cameras because there have been break-ins, typically shop buildings to steal tools. In some cases $50K or $100K worth. This also gets people thinking their houses will get broken into. Especially if they go south for the winter. So I often wonde
