Greetings from Zimbabwe,
We are expanding our network and need to commission a reliable 83km PTP backhaul link in the 5.8Ghz band. We require a minimum stable throughput of 10Mbps minimum.
The profile of the route is shown below:
At the 1614m site, the Mast is 13m high. At the 2324 site, the mast will be 15m high. Fresnel should be good, if anyone can assist by confirming this?
The equipment we intend placing in service at each site is as follows: Mikrotik RB800, with 3x2.4Ghz cards and 1x5.8Ghz DBii F50 Pro. The 5.8 antenna is planned to be be a Ubiquiti 5Ghz Airmax 34dBi Dish on each side.
I am looking for opinions as to if this will work, or should I be looking at placing intermediate sites (at huge difficulty due to horrible terrain in between the two proposed sites).
Regards
Brian
