Hi,
Wud it be possible to configure RB922UAGS-5HPacD as repeater at Repeater location and wat wud be the throughput achievable for 20 km link with 32 dBi antenna on either side.
pls find attached the schematic network layout. LoS is clear between both the links.

the repeater Location is Point of Presence Location for getting clear LoS between Ho and Factory.
Could anyone clarify at the earliest..
Rgds,
Suresh
What do you mean by using the word Repeater ? If you mean to get the signal from 1st tower and retransmit it to 3rd tower with the same card - it will never work. You need directional antenna for this distance.
But you can add this card to the board :

And with 2 antennas on 2nd tower you can make that link. 1 card acts as station and get signal from 1st tower, and the 2nd card acts as ap and transmits to the 3rd tower.
The expected throughput depends on LoS and achieved signals, but 200-300mbit/s is a realistic expectation.
Thanks for ur reply…
In the current scenario, we are using two AP’s at POP ( Central Location- 2nd Tower ) to establish connectivity from HO to Factory. the link is running fine with 5.8 GHz -54 Mbps Modems.
Since RB922UAGS-5HPacD is a dual chain modem, wudn’t it be possible to establish connectivity , by configuring RB922 as repeater with suitable external antennas depending on the distance.
Kindly clarify whether we need to add another Radio card and wud it be possible to add another card in this RB 922 Board?.
You can add another card in RB922 and you have to do it to make that link. The most suitable card is the one I posted above.
The integrated card is dual chain, but that does not mean you can connect 1 antenna to chain0 and connect to 1st tower and the other chain to 3rd tower. It is used with MIMO antenna to double the bandwidth.
