Nope dont think so, you would need a SR5 in them to do that... At least thats my experience.. 4-5km shots are ok with 65mw but longer would require more power..

IMHO the problem is the antenna gain, not the output power.
You can go 20km+ easily with an R52 or CM9, but using higher gain antennas than the 22dBi in that product.
Suggestion: buy an outdoor grade RB and high gain antennas.

Well, he asked about that package.. Still it's cheaper to put SR5's in there..

IIRC we have a pair of RIC/522s operating at 8.6 miles and the signal strength is about -73 dBm.

I'm glad you answered, I was looking at these for a shot just under 7 miles myself. I figured it would work, on paper it does, and my experience with a much worse antenna on the AP and somewhat better on the client showed 5 miles. I was pushing more power, but I was also 6 ft off the ground with lots of trees in the fresnel zone.

I have an 11km link with a couple of RIC/522 units. Tx has been set to 10dBm at both ends and the signal strength is showing -75dBm.

The radio data rate is set to 36Mbps max and seems to sit there quite happily.
