Hello…
I have a request from a customer to connect between two locations. PTP.
Traffic : 100Mbps
distance : 3KM line of sight ( clear )
location : outside town " low noise"

Hardware suggestion is to use :
1-RB800
2-R52HN Minipci or Dbii F50NPro
3- mimo dish 5.1 GHz to 5.8 GHz 32 dBi ( L-com).
4- Alfa N-type (male) to N-type (male), LMR-4001m low loss cable.

is it possible? :confused:
Please your advices.

I would go with BaseBox5 (912 outdoor) and the corespondent cables. If You need only layer 2 configure wds bridge and disable anything not needed. Should be easy and straight forward job …

32 dBi definitely too much for 3 km, i think 24 dBi will be enough, for example this:

According to calculator if your freshnel zone is 100% clear, you should get around -60 dBm signal strenght with this pair antenna and the R52nM cards

I have got RB 411GL, on 3 km should be capable 100 Mbit/sec tcp throughput.

If you’ve the place for a 32dBi Antenna just use it
Why:

  • narrower beam → less interference from others
  • higher gain → possibility to turn down tx-power while getting highest modulation → lower selfinterference

There will be a 30dbi Antenna from Mikrotik with mount for Basebox.
I guess this will be good value for the price.
