Can NV2 (given sufficient signal and SNR) reliably deliver over 200 megabit over a 55 kilometer link? I know I’ve seen speedtests over 200 megabit, but I do not recall if they were reliable or at such a distance. I would be selling someone a 100/100 connection and need to ensure that I can actually bring that bandwidth to the table. Licensed would be nice and may be in the cards for down the road, but wouldn’t yet be practical (financial reasons).
What hardware are we talking about? Frequency, licensed/unlicensed, etc…
Mikrotik 5 GHz. I know a PTP600 will do it as will any licensed radio.

With Mikrotik, only viable solution is high power 802.11n card with dual-pol high gain antenna on both sides.
In ideal conditions (CCQ 100%, signal level -45 to -50dBm, 40MHz channel) that kind of equipment allows ~250mbps of half-duplex traffic.
At 5GHz band and 55km distance, to get something around -50dBm signal level,
means approximately 60dBm EIRP on both sides, is that legal in US?
Thats a good question, will need to research that now you asked.
In 5.8 there is no EIRP limit on PtP links.
Radio Mobile would tell the signal on that link. Without very large dishes, I wouldn’t get it on the long link. I may on the shorter one.

here in Belgium 5.8 is a licenced hamradio band (5650 -5850)
According to calculator: 55 km, -62 dBm
Equipment: DBii F50N-Pro Mini PCI, Rocket Dish 32-34 dBi
I read about here a 35 km link with RB 800 and the result was 100 Mbit/sec
Of course we are talking about TCP speed.
have u tried 100 mbps up and 100 mbps down.
I have some links which have good down speed giving more than 100 mbps but when it comes to upload they barely give a few kbps.
The links are almost 40km+
I have never tried
