PtP 17GHz with Alcoma MP vs Saf Lumina

2x2km and 1x10km.

These Media Converters convert Fiber to GigabitEthernet.
We use a combination of fiber and 48V Power for licensed links.
Gives less problems compared to Copper with POE.

Most WISPs use Licensed gear at the central lines and MT at the smaller links/customer connections and for routing.

Yes. This is my situation! But I don’t have enough money to pay the license so I decided for 17GHz because 5GHz on my backbone is impossible to much noise and unstable link!

So I decide to use Alcoma or Saf, and I need some suggestions.

Thanks

You are Italian, SIAE is cheaper and it gives you a lot. If you want contact me in private and I can tell you prices.

There is another financial issue we have to consider with licensed links apart from initial cost of purchase there could be approx. 1,200 euro annual licence fee which for “X” amount of PTP links does add up?
So the unlicensed option where suitable is our primary goal now.

This depends on country. We have much lower fees for short 38GHz links. This is worth the money to stay out of unlicensed bands with central links.

I can’t send private message from the board.( I don’t know why). But the local distributor here in Itlay give me a very good price for AlfoPlus and 90cm dish

What distance can 38GHz cover?

please define your country name when you discuss such topic… it helps other understand the spectrum charges in their respective country…

Strange I thought “location:…” below my user name would inform others of my country name?
And it would help if others would state location as advice given maybe only applicable in their country?

3-4km max with 99.995%. Depends on rain zone and allowed/possible tx-power.
Regulator gives frequency dependent of link length. So under 2km I would not get another
frequency even if I am willing to pay.

yes the country name does define the location :slight_smile: but if you see not all have their country disclosed… hence the request :slight_smile:

At the end I decided for Siae AlfoPlus, 1024QAM and a very good promotion price.

Ok do you know us if the product you have chosen will be good and its capabilities,
