Is anywhere any list of supported nics for x86 servers?

Hi, the Antenna Pattern are the difference, and the device shielding to the back. QRT works better in noisy environment.

hello,
our distributer just announced LHG Lite60. I dont think that fast ethernet is go to solution theese days but there is a strange part... There is said that only 3 clients are possible. Is that true?

Matess

I Have a bad experience with radome. When it rains that radome stays wet and signal drop a lot even few hours after rain. By my tests radom is not recomended.

Matess

1,7km at 1Gb/s full duplex is achievable. Not more than 1km in heavy rain is not possible.

Matess

I have prrtty much same problem. Water is a big issue. This weekend signal dropped by 23dBm on 400m. I didnt get my hands on lhg60 yet ( not on stock ) but it seems that signal can drop over 50dBm on 1km. I am using dish with radom. Maybe water on radom is that problem... I dont know. Does anyone ha...

Matess

can someone explain what "signal" means? RSSI is -69 to -70 and signal is load dependent.. up to 100Mb/s = 80, 700Mb (maximum and full duplex) 35 to 50.

Does WAP has any kind of limitation? When I am using it on larger dsitances speed drops a lot and signal is still 80. Is there lower ACK or something?

Matess

we have custom made antennas on WAP and on 1km test link it has 4dBi less then LHG60 on the same link. 500m link still drops with heavy rain. 420m is rock solid.

Matess

yes, more throughput with better used frequency spectrum. I want be able to do switch of the whole network, just in super noisy enviroment.

It's antenna problem. You have interferences between chains. From my experience - you can try to isolate pigtails near ufl connectors.
