I recently saw this new Netgear pci card providing 216 mb, I was wondering if MT support this PCI card and how can I use it for point 2 point link in 1000 ~ 2000 metters links.
actually its very funny that I couldn’t find the actuall 216 mb but the shop who was selling it claim it transfer up to 216 mb, I’m not even sure if its true but its piece of cake for p2p links
sounds suspicious. by what technology could that be accomplished. 216 sounds like 108x2 but you better find out that product number (and a specs sheet)
Their explanation of “double 108” is completely confusing.
The corresponding router has simultaneous a/g turbo, but I think the card is either/or a/g not both.
so is it gonna be able to transwer 216 (108x2) ? and is this supported in MT, because the PCI version is available, and at the other hand how many antennas I have to setup? is it all possible within 1 antenna?
If you want to achieve a “2x108Mbps” link, you’re going to have to put 2 radio cards in each end, standard CM9s would do, and do some bonding … and avoid interference … and you need some real CPU power to do that also.
I’d be impressed if someone can make that setup work … any offers?
I have a link that does 55Mbps UDP, 48Mbps TCP that’s 1/4 mile apart, 5ghz-turbo, NStreme on 1.8ghz Celerons. That’s using CM9’s, 50 feet of antenna cable and 29dbi dishes (on each end) with a -51 signal level, and using the MT boxes themselves to generate bandwidth.
Now that’s on 2.8.27, I’m awaiting some more testing on 2.9.6, but this link it not a single PtP, it’s actually a dual PtP link for redundancy. I’m using routing tricks (load balacing gateways) to simulate bonding, but when I upgrade to 2.9, it’ll be fully bonded, and I’ll have some more data.
