Depends on your regulationsWe have a wireless link of 11 kms and we planned to implement with Metal52hn+30 dbi solid dish in AP side and Groov52hn+5ghz 13 dbi omni antenna in client side as omni is the only option there. my doubt is do 5ghz omni can be connected at a distance of 11 kms and expected throughput is 5 mbps..No interference And clear line of sight.
It is a physical calculation. If you put the right data in it gives you the right data out.Mikrotik link calculator 100% successful?
At 11km distance this will be a very small angle ...It also depends on the height between ap and client.
It is best if they are at the same height.
Otherwise it could be that the radio waves above 30 dbi solid dish rays.
example not good
60 meter height stand the omni's
10 meter height the 30 dB dish.
