What is to recommend me to use the device model ?
[ antenna, router, os, radio, ]
$ 50,000 for the project…
l think,
Central Pop : 4 x 90 sectors antenna X 2 = 250 users + for 4 Pop, point to point antenna
or 8 x 45 sectors antenna X 2 = 250 users + for 4 Pop, point to point antenna
Pop : 4 x 90 sectors antenna= 125 users + for Point, point to point antenna
Point : blind spots and I used to user density, as client..
Very true. There is another company that has equipment that can connect supposedly 300+ clients but I do not see how so I am not going to mention that company plus my post will prolly get erased. lol…
Any ways you could do it if you use more 2.4GHz in a mesh node fashion and then allow them to connect like that. That way it looks like one cloud that has the clarity of multiple connections. each WAP MT can only support a maximum of 30 to 40 connected clients. This is field results that we have experienced.
There may be another product to use to connect all of the user via one magical sector but underlying I would run everything with a MT. They do everything you need.
I have one costumer with 60 users in 2.4GHz in one radio. The connections are not too good, but it works. Now we are connecting the new users to 5GHz and trying to change some 2.4 to 5.
We like this model because it is a horizontal frequency at 120degrees. It sorta feels like the sector is more of a 90 degree sector due to the coverage across the town. They are very reliable sector antennas and they are small so they are easy to deploy on a tower. Make sure you use LMR400 or greater cable. If you are deploying the sector on a tower that is very populated with other frequency you may want to go with LMR600. Make the runs long up the tower and have the equipment at a ladder height on the base of the tower. Make sure you start off with a good size NEMA enclosure. We always made the mistake of starting off with just the right size and then we grew and needed more room in the box. Start off with a size that will take at least two to three RB333 or two RB600 boards. For the 5GHz frequency use the XR-5. The XR-5 cards are wonderful make sure to use NSTREME and have it in 5GHz-Turbo Mode. The Turbo mode will allow you to push greater speeds to your customers. Always use WPA2 with a dynamic key. You can also use PPPoE on top of that.
**Technical information being given is very good, I want to talk with you more. Do you have an e-mail address can reach? ( I would like to discuss specific )
Do you think the most suitable antenna for hotspot service?
-Laird Technologies Antenna
You really need to do a mesh where the central area feeds out as a 5GHz signal. Then relay with smaller units for 2.4GHz using the XR-2 cards. Make sure (I know the obvious) to tape the connectors then apply tar strip then tape again to keep water out if this is a purely outdoor project. Also only turn on(enable) your 5GHz wireless cards when the antennas are connected. I had to learn the hard way several times in this career.
All 2.4GHz antennas should be omni to save on money and to allow nearby usable connections. Use Sectors when you are broadcasting in a directional area only. If the coverage is not necessary behind then use the sector antennas.
So I would use the Laird antennas at the core then use grills to receive on with an omni to rebroadcast.
