Dear Experts Would you please help?

Hello all,

I want to create a 2-point to point links:

First one its 16.5 km and want to use:

2 Mikrotik Dish 60cm diameter with 2 basebox 5Ghz

would these work well for this link ? and how much do you expect to get bandwidth?



Second one is 24.5 Km and want to use:

2 dish 120 cm antennas with 2 metals 5SHPN

would these work well for this link ? and how much do you expect to get bandwidth?


Thank You,

You need to find out the gain of your antennas…
For a given rate, treat it as reliable if you have 20dB over the sensitivity.

Docmarius thank you for your reply! but i just could not know how to use the wireless link calculator, how to get the information about Power and Rx sensitivity if i did not install the link yet ? and is there anyway to estimate the bandwidth of my link ?

Yes there is a way.
All devices have a specified Tx output for different modes and speeds.
And Rx sensitivity is also specified in the device’s data sheet for different modes and speeds.
So, if you target e.g. MCS7 you find the numbers in the specs.
The same goes for the antennas.
And then you have all data needed for the wireless calculator.

If it states “Reliable”, then that particular mode will probably work.

Thank You very much! i appreciate your helpful reply

Also note that you need clear sight. No clear sight means no link on 5 GHz.
A single line of trees is already introducing a lot of loss, don’t even think about going through a forest or a building.

yes dear, i know that its sensitive. thank you :slight_smile:
