3D printable files

TPA-RBP-L11UG.zip

on RBP, we are fine tuning the 3D printable part. This is one of the work in progress versions - not a final one. 

we also consider an easier to print version that does not require support material.

we will make 3d data of finished solutions available this week.

quick update: RBC will fit this way. Longer screws are required. We are trying some 3D printed spacers to make it a firmer fit once mounted

Calculator is missing UBNT CPE radios. (LTU LR, PowerBeam 5AC, LiteBeam 5AC, etc)

any text editor or spreadsheet opens csv file. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values - its just a formatted text. csv as a format is not specifically made for antenna files. 

We are working on parts that would allow to fit the board in RBP and RBC enclosures and are 3D printable by user. Update coming soon.

We have the board and can confirm it will not fit any of our current enclosures with TwistPort. The heatsink is simply too tall. We will now look into a new solution and keep you updated on the process.

thanks Jan! Ours are inbound, we will post as soon as we have an update.

Roberto - to answer your question we would need to review the physical sample. So far we see that the product will be commercially available sometimes mid March..?

The large heatsink is a potential issue just by looking at it, so I understand your question. We will try to get some more info sooner than in March and will post here. It is definitely on our list.

edit: we expect to have the board in the week starting 19th Feb 

@DD3JI: I am sorry that you have so many troubles with the simple purchase. There is a some confusion here, please let me clarify. 

- at the time you were asking, TP-400 were not available at manufacturer and the were discontinued week later. ALL our distributors got this information from us on time. 

- I highly doubt Varia received misleading information from RF elements.

- we released new products day after we answered your question here. So here is our mistake, we should do this better and refer you to (at hat time upcoming) announcement rather than provide universal excuse (which is unfortunately very much on point for all the product shortages these days). We are sorry for this mistake on our end. We will do better job next time.

- it is possible to get TP400 unless you insist it should be from Varia store. TP400s are still on stock with stocking resellers, we can help you locate the product and get it shipped to your address asap. Example here in Slovakia and for action price: https://www.tesshop.sk/rf-elements-uld-tp-400-1-pack-ultradish-antena-5ghz-24dbi-400mm-7-twistport_d3787.html (confirmed they have 10 units on stock at the time I write this). Please shoot me PM if you need our assistance with this purchase.

Hope this will help you solve your problem

..now I know where those range figures displayed on some wireless products come from  

Welcome to RF elements brand! How do you like the performance?

Dobry den, bohuzial som kvoli praci nebol schopny sledovat. Bude k dispozicii zaznam?

Ano zaznam bude k dispozicii . vypublikujeme niekedy v priebehu buduceho tyzdna. Ak sledujete nas youtube kanal tak by vas mala upozornit notifikacia.

For other users that may have similar questions: the only guidance is not having them right under the upper radio. Typically you try to criss cross them so the radios are furthest apart when under another.  For example of a 3 radio stack the top will point to the NW, the middle will point N and the bottom will point NE.  I know that is rough angles to make the point, but it's common practice. Also, if you have the vertical space, giving them a foot or 2 between horns on a vertical stack should help.

You also always have the ability to not mount the GPS puck in the adapter, but I know being nice and protected in the adapter is ideal.

Richard - what is your requirement on ingress protection? 

The antennas on the picture are installed as 30° azimuth and 20° elevation. Nice horny install btw  How do you like the performance?

vdaka za hint, uz sme zareagovali aj na ISP fore

o probleme vieme, este stale ho skumame. S velkou pravdepodobnostou islo o skrytu vyrobnu vadu sposobenu vyrobcom. Ked to skumanie dokoncime, dame ucelenu informaciu.

Prasknuty radom uznavame ako RMA, distributori maju o tom informacie aj nahrady, ak by sa vyskytol nejaky kus tak sa treba obratit na predajcu a reklamaciu obratom vyriesime. 

I do not see a reason why not. Just mount two horns side by side and test it.

Are you currently using 3k or just planning?

You can use two horns overlapping as 4x4 or not overlapping as two separate sectors, if radio supports that scenario.

we support ePMP 3000L and CSM by dedicated TP-A https://rfelements.com/products/wireless-broadband/twistport-adaptor-for-epmp/twistport-adaptor-3/

For 3000 with 4 chains: use two horns

2xN-f TP-A is not on the list of priorities. just use jumpers with appropriate connector setup.

we looked into this long time ago.. long story short: amount of metal on the tower will confuse regular compass.

Has this been looked at yet?  

Josh - what exactly?

Beam resolution displays antenna radiation beam width at -3db, -6dB or -12dB decrease from max (bore sight) gain.

Very sane requirement but not easy to achieve.. That is all I can say at the moment
