The industry already has solutions to the EIRP problem.
* Buy international units set to follow the rules in Russia or Hong Kong and then you can run any channel you want at whatever power you want. * Alter the firmware on a US unit to enable rules for another country or maybe put it in an engineering test mode with no limitations. * “Misconfigure” the antenna gain so you can turn up the Tx power. * If antenna gain can’t be adjusted in the config, then buy integrated units with small antennas and then run pigtails off the circuit board to a bigger antenna You shouldn’t really do any of this, but all of those “solutions” have been seen in the wild. For awhile you could factory reset AirMax gear and then on first login just pick whatever country you wanted. I knew a guy who did that for all of his PTP links and I got him in trouble with his boss. Or at least his boss pretended he was in trouble, but for all I know maybe they started laughing together as soon as I was out of the room. If I had 6ghz licensed links right now I would be coming up with contingency plans for if/when they get trashed by some jabroni. Like the private pool is about to become a public pool and you know all the neighborhood kids are gonna pee in it. It might be time to look for another pool.

SMs without GPS will be limited to 30dbm. I haven't used any Mimosa, but I bet they will limit it to the same EIRP if you set them up with the correct antenna gain.

So far the A6 has not been super stable, although the performance when it is stable was exciting at > 800 Mbps for subs. Also has problems with timing for customers past 5 miles or so. Anyway, I’m thinking of switching gears to Cambium’s 4600 platform to have something more stable. Am I correct in that Cambium is limiting the EIRP of the SMs to 36db? So the 25db subscriber dish transmits into the dish at +11? This sounds like the solution is limited to about 4-5 miles as a result.. Am I missing something here?
