This is the Max power. If you set regulatory domain mode, it will be set to what your country allows. Just like 260KM/h on cars doesn’t mean you have to drive like this in the city, but shows the potential
Yes pls do it
Today I’ve made some tests and yes it has real benefit from it - P2P link changed HP with SA don’t know if case is “SA is new and better hardware” - basically these two units should be the same except HP has 24-degree antenna SA has 90-degree antenna + “special shielding” but what can I say, SA unit is running superb in very high interference area, on 20Mhz channel I get around 70-80mbits
Tomorrow I will test it on already existing P2MP link I will put SA instead of current SEXTANT unit also located in high interference area
Ill keep u informed.
sxt SA is sector antenna I cant imagine it on ptp links…it has 90 degree beamwidth…use parabolic antennas + mikrotik in alluboxes and you get much better results and dont make noise in enviroment (like you do when you use SXT SA on ptp links…this are for PtM)
That is excellent.
How about noise environment? I can see noise but does this link is located in area with lot of wifi traffic?
Anyway to Mikrotik - SXT SA is great for collocation place this “special shielding” I dont know what it is but improvement is awesome. SA=collocation interference zero .
It’s all about SNR.
If your signal is enough stronger than noise then you can have highest modulations and 100/100% CCQ.
In this particular case, one side is noisy but signal level of -50dBm is strong enough to overcome that noise.
RF shielding on SXT SA is very good by our experience too and a step in right direction.
Mikrotik really did a good job with “SA”.
This two SXT SA are placed about 30sm one from other (at first it was for a test but I left them that way) in opposite direction + I have 3 more units on this collocation (OmniTik, 2x sxt)
frequencies are 5580 and 5700 channel 20Mhz width - both are p2mp SXTSA->2xSXTHP distance of clients are from 1km up to 2km (+I have OmniTIk about 2 meters from both units that operate on 5500MHz two SXTHn older version are set below 5300)
test is made in same time (parallel) on both units, TCP btest + actual Internet traffic
20Mhz channel width (not 40Mhz above,below), units are placed 30sm ,nstreme, P2MP, in same time both units can send almost 70Mbits TCP- throughput is almost max out amazing I m talking about test in real world, area with high noise not in laboratory - but if I had little more CPU power btest “throughput” can go up to 80Mbits excellent excellent done Mikrotik - cheap way to beat expensive gps syn what so ever if it works or does not
before that I had 2xgroove 23dbl than changed with sxtHP- but HP was much more powerful, thats why I created this topic QRT has 35Db - I had to change tx-power to 20db, had to set first HP to 5180 second to 5700 but performance was not even close to SXT-SA definitely it was collocation interference
But how? I never made setup or saw more when 200Mbs real UDP throughput on 300Mbs modulation with CCQ about or just 100%. Is this new hardware benefits (CPU or radio) or just some good configuration?
