Hi, I would like to replace my old RB600 with tons of CM9s running on 5G A. Thinking what would be best solution. Can you please give me some ideas? 180° and CPE max 1km. is fine so I am thinking …

  1. 2 x sector antena mANTBox 120°
  2. 2 x sector antena mANT + NetBox 5 .. seems like similar RB inside so not sure it there is any different - maybe better all in one - option 1.
  3. 2 x other vendor sector 2xMIMO antena + NetBox 5 / NetMetal 5
  4. 2 x other vendor sector 3xMIMO antena + NetMetal 5 triple (i guess no need when most CPE has max 2 chains ants)

Is there any different running on 5G AC or N in the city? N better or not much differents (running 20 or max 40MHz anyway).

Thnx for ideas

I prefer NetMetal 2x2, is more flexible. You can add different kinds of antennas. MIMO 2x2 is very popular and you have a diversity of antennas. mANT 120º is too specific design. NetBox is the same, but plastic (I prefer metalic case). NetMetal 3x3 if you not need it, choose 2x2.

Regards.

Thank you. Any recommendation for 90/120º sector MIMO2x2 antena?

I use Ubiquiti and L-com antennas, very good. Ubiquiti as first option.
