NV2 vs Noise

I am getting ready to set up new links soon. They are links up to a tower site with lots of noise. I currently run a Ubnt Rocket M2 and also another rocket M5 Link with the rocket dishes up to this tower.

I am moving office locations and am considering swapping the radios to UBTIK’s in place of the rockets during the move :slight_smile:

The tower side is pretty noisy on both bands. How does NV2 hold up in noisy situations? I’m hoping to gain a little bit of throughput if possible. Distance is 7 Miles/ 11km

It is just like Airmax, if you have enough SNR it will work great. From my experience you need ~20-30dB SNR to get it to work really well. I have seen better throughput with NV2 than Airmax in similar conditions.

Chadd,

Thanks for the reply. I keep hearing about how awesome NV2 is. I’ve tested a few links indoors at the office. If definitely looks promising! I really want to give it a try in the field.

Yep in the right conditions it is pretty amazing.

If there is lots of noise be prepared to spend time setting up your antenna’s, co-location noise rejection and placement is critical on the mast for each antenna to use NV2 otherwise you could experience regular disconnects,
