I have to setup some point to point links unsing 5 Ghz radios and solid dishes. For links like 30-40 miles would you prefer standard radios or MIMO links?
thanks in advance for your answers
mimo links r good when u have clear fresnel. good height is a must. n our region 30 - 40 miles need atleast 120 ft above ground.
I can say that at 24 miles 3.30 will push nearly 10mb with a good connection and an XR5, 17 with nstreme. The Groove, running v5, will push 3mb and at least 10mb with nstreme. I haven’t been able to thoroughly push nstreme on this link.
Thanks for your answers!! Height is not a problem since most of the installations are top of a mountain to top of another mountain , so there is plenty of empty space underneath
& weather type & accuracy in alignments is very important in long range links.
I totally agree with weather and alignement. I was just wondering if it’s more reliable using a single polarization card or a dual polarization MIMO.
Sorry, I hadn’t finished my coffee when I posted the first time.
Dual polarity will help, if nothing else than the error correcting capabilities of MIMO.
I was offering my experience with 3.30 vs the current stuff earlier and forgot to get to the point. I got more bandwidth in 802.11 in 3.30. With nstreme v5 works quite well at long distances, but v5 is not as good as v3 with straight 802.11.
