Hey Joe, I understand,  the cast signs can be confusing. Thank you for the feedback, we are always looking for ways to make our products easier to use. I will forward your suggestions to our development team. 

It is not. The Twin Horn Bracket is only usable with Symmetrical horns, both TwistPort and Carrier Class version. You can still use ePMP 3000 with Asymmetrical Horns as well, if you attach them near each other (just the aiming will not be as simple compared to using the Twin Horn Bracket).

Thank you for sharing, nice pictures!

Hello Joe, thank you, we are happy our antennas work well for you! 

The cast lettering on the antenna tells you about the antenna orientation, not how it relates to the mast (you can look at the antenna from the front or back, which would make the difference). So the "BRACKET 30° R" means that it is the right side of the antenna when holding the antenna with the TwistPort waveguide facing you.

To fix the antenna orientation, you have to flip the bracket parts - follow the manual Step 10 - 13.

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

Dobry den, zaznam webinara je k dispozicii na tomto linku.

Ak ste zmeškali náš webinár z 5.5.2020, tento záznam je určený práve pre vás! Dozviete detaily o našich anténnych produktových radách, TwistPort adaptéroch a ako technológia RF elements umožňuje neobmedzený rast bezdrôtových sietí fungujúcich v nelicencovanom 5 GHz frekvenčnom pásme.

What is QAM modulation? How does it work? Why high MCS rates need high SNR level? Find answers to these questions in our latest #InsideWireless episode about #QAMmodulation!

Unfortunately, the caps do not even have a part number, nor do we send replacements for them - sorry about that. If you need them, your best bet is to get a new adaptor altogether.

Beam efficiency is the ultimate measure of antenna side lobes - the higher the beam efficiency, the less side lobes. Antenna side lobes cripple the performance of fixed wireless networks. Therefore, antennas used in WISP networks should have beam efficiency as high as possible. Wondering about the beam efficiency of the antenna you use? Check out this short video and find out!

Utorok 5. maja 2020 o 10 budeme mat webinar! Registrujte sa tu: link

Dobry den, v slovencine sme nahravku zatial nezverejnili. V dohladnej dobe ho budeme opakovat. Ak vam to staci, dovtedy vam mozeme ponuknut anglicku verziu.

Zdravim, niesme si vedomi ze by to niekto skusal. Mozne to je, koax splitter bude stacit. Treba ale pocitat s neocakavanymi problemami a za vysledok sa nemozme zarucit. Kazdopadne, ak do toho pojdete, zaujmalo by nas ako to fungovalo/nefungovalo

Hi Jean,  you might benefit from using higher frequency bands, but also make sure you use antennas with low side lobes. This heavily depends on the distances you want to cover. Either LTE, or 5 GHz will have potentially smaller coverage. What concerns antennas, our symmetrical and asymmetrical horns which have industry leading side lobe performance fit for sector coverage at 5 GHz.

Possibly check some of our webinars such as Increasing Throughput or Noise Rejection if interested. Let me know if you have any more questions.

HI, our horns only work in the 5 GHz band, so no, the 3.65 Rocket will not work with our antennas.

Hi, that depends on the distances you want to cover and how many customers you want to connect per sector. A good place to start is our Link Calculator to find out which horn would fit the job (video guide on how to use the calculator is here).  If you are switching from omni you probably want to cover the whole 360 degree circle around the site, so dividing the 360 into for example 6 sectors using 60 degree asymmetrical horns can work well.

If you have time to spare, watch our webinar Migration to Horns 101 where we explain how people usually start out with Horns.

Let me know if you have any questions once you watch the webinar or are not sure about something!

Hi Greg, what CPE are you using? 

Hi, it is compatible with all the RF elements HORN antennas combined with TPA-PAF TwistPort adaptor. It is also compatible with RF elements patch array sectors with the default bracket delivered in the LTU Rocket package. 

The older version of the TPA-PAF adaptor might need a small modification - plastic insert needs a few chips removed as shown HERE.

The highlighted cable (in the attached picture) is the horizontal one, given that you mount it in the default position - with the panel (also circled in red on the bottom of the pic) facing down. The isolation between the ports is good enough to leave the vertical polarization cable disconnected (no need to connect it to a matched load or anything else).

You're right, the Fresnel zone reflections are not a problem for circularly polarized setup. It is possible to make a TPA with circular polarization, but as of now we do not plan that. You guessed it right - it's all about the MOQ vs profitability when it comes to mass production. 

It is possible to make that, why do you need a circularly polarized antenna?

Bonita instalacion buen manejo de cables felicitaciones

Nice setup, thank you for sharing!

Hi Francesco, to your questions:

- the drain hole is there to protect the inside from condensed water. By sealing it with silicon properly, it will be IP66 rated - the hole is small enough.

- yes the red plugs provide IP66 rating

- more on this in the private message just sent

Best regards

The azimuth is not 'calculated' either, the calculator merely shows you the 'heading' of the antenna in the Multi CPE setup. The direction of the 'heading' is manual, and it is the clockwise angle from the North.

The old one will have 'TPA-PAF-04_redu_1_v3' and the new one 'TPA-PAF-04_redu_1_v4' printed directly on the part.
