Does anyone know the beamwidth of these dishes, and TX power? The spec sheet doesn’t really reveal any details on the RF side.
I’m wondering if its also possible, depending on beamwidth, if one put 10-20 of these things in a ring around a tower, if you could actually get multiple users on each one? I assume probably not, but I’m trying to come up with a 1500m solution around a tower site for 60ghz PtMP using mikrotik 60Ghz. Those TINY little WAP-60G untis range is pathetic, the beamforming is AWESOME but why didn’t they make a LARGE version like IgniteNet has where you can get decent range for us WISPs that need to serve customers further than 200m?
You can use both - The WAPs at the clients, and the LHG at the tower. Range will be better than 200m, although not the 1500m You get with a pair of LHG. If I’m no mistaken, something about 600m.
There are people here that used this - they can answer You better.
@Paternot
WAP on Tower and LHG on CPE Side is better Choose
I not tested it yet but i would go up to 500m with this PTMP Setup.
Here are a lot of Reports Using LHG on 1800m:

Make sense.
Isn’t 1800m an edge case? Will it hold during heavy rain or snow?

We leave the existing 5 Ghz Link as Backup.
bad that Mikrotik doesn’t not support 10 / 5 MHz Channels, would be enough for the cases.
Looks like we nee to change this links to UBNT to save more spectrum.
