Do you use AirFibre? have you the actual live link speeds under different weather conditions and distances, rather than advertised speed?Does Mikrotik/Routerboard manufacture an antenna that can get similar link speeds as AirFiber?
Great - then you will have no problem is posting the speed you have with AirFiber (I assume its AirFiber5) and distance covered.Yes. However i don't see how that pertains to my question.
15.226 meters ?????I have been using AF24 for over tree months. 15.226 meters. 518/518Mbps. During the 3-5 minutes of very, very heavy rain (twice so far for this tree months), a pair of RB912 is taking over via OSPF. Dense fog, normal and light rain are not strong enough to brake the link. So, I would like to suggest AF24, since Saf, Alcoma,... are tooo expensive. Don't get me wrong, I don't like UBNT, every router and p2p link in my network is MTK, but UBNT did a great job with AF24.
I would like to see MF24 (MikrotikFiber), or maybe MF11, MF18,..

Sorry, mistake. It is 15.227 meters or 9.462 miles15.226 meters ?????
You are joking - Yes ? 24Ghz at 9.462 miles at the power they use, sorry to be doubtful butSorry, mistake. It is 15.227 meters or 9.462 miles15.226 meters ?????
Thank you for posting and yes I have doubts when the chart displays RX (receive) does that mean that the AF24 is able to receive data up to those rates but what is the link actually transfering, how about the traditional method of throughput results with TCP and UDP results of both TX/RX before and after AF24 link, also there is a big difference between a distance of 2Kms and 15.2KmsWith firmware 2.0 they did a good job, we use AF24 in short links (2km) and they go at 775mbit speed FDD. Inside EIRP limits too.
Today was an heavy rainy day. You can see at 13.30 the rate drop.
n21roadie, you should give it a try. I was sceptic aswell..
And yeah, Mikrotik should focus more on wireless again.. Maybe with a Cambium PMP450 like device too, that would be awesome.
Just checked "...Annual Rainfall here in Ireland averages between 1000 and 1400 mm. In many mountainous districts rainfall exceeds 2000mm per year...", So unless AF24 has something really special I will remain skeptical and look at throughput for 7.6Km link http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airFiber-S ... s-p/795860N21roadie, I assume that weather in Ireland is not the same as here in Balkans. I was skeptical myself. I was thinking that I throw away a lot of money. But after a month link paid for itself. If you can afford it, give it a try, but it is mandatory to use backup link of some kind in case of heavy rain. Go to http://community.ubnt.com/airfiber and read everything you can. Then if it is possible go to someone that has AF24 already installed. That is the exact way that I took, and it was success.
But if You are still doubtful, or maybe think that weather in Ireland is not compatible with AF24, try something else - much more expensive and slower.

1Km what is actual max throughput of AF24?Note that the throughout is the current throughout across the af. It's doubtful that anyone is pushing near a gig at any one time unless it's a backbone connection.
Our one link is roughly 1km and only ever has about 20Mb going across it. But it has a capacity near 740Mb
