Better channel rejection

Tue Sep 24, 2013 11:18 am

Seems there is a vendor who at least has an idea where our problems live:

Background is the selfinterference problem every WISP fight his battles against as soon as his installations
grow.

Here are the basic numbers for 802.11ac. The minimal requirements for a 802.11a receiver are the same:

Search for: Adjacent and Nonadjacent Channel Rejection

I see no numbers regarding adjacent and nonadjacent Channel Rejection on the Datasheets from MT.
So I guess the numbers are like the minimal requirements?

This is a very important parameter which influences the quality of our service a lot. So I would like to
know it and I would like to select the cards in my APs which deliver the best rejection values.
