I see, the red dot connected to the dashed red line (with multi CPE setup) indicates the boresight direction of the AP antenna. The downtilt in this case is left up to the user, because with multiple CPEs there is no single downtilt that is optimal for all the CPEs at the same time.

Yes, it will. You can either 3d print the plastic part (download files here) or remove a few pieces from the one you might have by your self - the parts you need to remove are highlighted here. People have easily done it by them selves with a few tools. The new version of TPA-PAF will have the plastic part that will fit the LTU Rocket as well.

The downtilt is a parameter you have to change manually, but when you place the AP somewhere else, you always get the information about recommended downtilt,  which you have to set manually (the change might often be very small because of the antenna main lobe properties, but be assured it recalculates with every position change)

As for the rest of - thanks for the feedback, we'll look into it!

Hi Ikeja,

Those images are just graphical illustrations - they are not physics based, but are meant to give you an approximate idea how the coverage looks like

This Inside Wireless episode is about Noise floor, which represents the other side of the coin when talking about signal quality. Strength of the signal, or RSSI is important, but Noise floor is equally important, since the radio sees the signal quality through the SNR, or Signal to Noise ratio.

What you suggest would not work - our horn antennas are designed for 5 GHz band, changing the TwistPort adaptor would not make them work in the band you mentioned because of the physics of the feeding waveguide which has cutoff frequency around 4.8 GHz. Any signal below 4.8 GHz will be reflected from the antenna port. 

Hi Michael,

Can you please take a picture of the TwistPort adaptor you are talking about?

Regards, Tomas

Then Symmetrical series and Asymmetrical series are the ones you should check out

Any RF elements horn will work with ePMP 2000, or ePMP 3000 L and ePMP Force 300 CSM (the two connector versions of ePMP 3000). Also four connector ePMP 3000 can be used with horns - two N-female connectorized ones or two TwistPort horns with SMA adaptors. Depends on the application which one you go with. What link are you trying to build, PtP, or PtMP? What is the distance?

Wondering what side lobes are and if they are harmful to your WISP network? In this short video you will learn about Side Lobes, Front to Back (FtB) ratio and side lobe level (SLL). #InsideWireless #SideLobes #RadiationDiagrams #Antennas #RFelements #SaveSpectrum #Education #Make5GHzGreatAgain

I don't think this is a direction we want to go with our products. Putting several horns into one enclosure brings more problems than benefits, so the trade off is not worth the effort.

Thanks for sharing @DD3JI and @janusz.zmijewski nice pics!
