Greeitngs, We are using some Mikrotik products for remote desktop to a computer on an unmanned surface vehicle for bathymetry mapping and other hydrographic tasks. The vehicle can drive all around (need Omni antenna) and we have a static base station (omni or directional). We use this hardware in flooded mining pits, with the furthest distance 2 km away, and the base location 60 m above the water surface. Currently we have a Mantbox 15s as our base antenna and a Groove 52ac as the omni on the USV. We need to operate at 5 GHz as 2.4 is used for RC control. We are only getting about 1 km of range. There are no obstructions and a clear line of sight. Would we get better range by switching equipment? Say use a Mantbox 19s and an Omnitik 5? Would these offer any additional range, or are we out of luck. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
