Re: Migrating from FHSS to OFDM
I can't imagine replacing one sector at time and then running around quickly and changing CPE's. How many clients were on a sector? I would think the clients would not be too happy with being down for a day or two.
This has been my delema. I am afraid that I will have to put the new gear to close to the old FHSS gear because of space constraints on the towers.
One thought I have is that it will "work" but the performance of the new gear will be poor while I am converting. In other words if I change a sector at a time and use opposite polarity that possibly the links to the customers will be maintained with poor performance. This because the FHSS hops through the frequencies.
It may also be possible that I could use a small spread, say 5mhz, that doesn't compete with the FHSS.

We had 3 guys doing this at once, and we got it done in 2 days. All of the Raylink CPE's already had CAT5 runs to the radio, so it was just a matter of doing some preconfig on the new radios and then reinstalling an end on the CAT5 at each location. On most swaps, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. 
Oh Yea, about 20 subs per AP.
