60GHz Radio - PtP indoor with walls?

Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:40 pm

Hi,

I am looking for a PtP wireless bridge to be used indoors that needs to work through one (maybe two) drywalls, with total distances being less than 15 meters. Will the Wireless Wire product

https://mikrotik.com/product/wireless_wire

or maybe 60 GHz radios in general work for this? AFAIK the shorter the wavelength the more difficult it is to penetrate walls, but I have no experience with this part of the spectrum.

Thanks in advance!

I use the Wireless-Wire to solve all kinds of Network-Problems.

For Exemple:
- Connectivity between two booth on a Trade shows and Fairs.
- Connectivity between Buildings
- or even connectivity between two floors of an old Building =)

In my experience:
Never implement the Wireless-Wire, if they don't have "Line of sight" to each other.
Mikrotik advertises it can be used behind "most windows", but i never ever found a windows that worked!
