I'd be looking at an 802.11ac at this time for PTP links. We are using a bunch of PowerBeam-400's although I really need DFS and 5150 since I'm in the middle of two cities but they are working great. If the 110's had been out 4 months ago we probably would have worked with them. However, once my inventory of PB-400's run low, I'm doing everything after that in 802.11ac.

I mean I can use a Laird dish, but there's no radio mount like a Rocket dish.

Was hoping for more. I need to do a 8.5 mile link and 5.7 is pretty full at one end. Hey Cambium why not add ePMP PTP to Link Planner so I don�t have to learn Radio Mobile. Would 2.4 reach 8.5 miles? � From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman via Af Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 4:22 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] BH distances � Assuming force110ptp?� You're looking at 25 dbi antennas so my guesses � 5.1@18dbm is probably <5 miles 5.5@13dbm is probably <3 miles 5.7@23dbm is probably <10 miles � Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 � On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 5:19 PM, Rex-List Account via Af <af@afmug.com> wrote: I am looking to plan out some tower site expansions. Thinking of using ePMP for some low cost back hauls. They will cover the 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.7 bands all with the same radio. This is nice. I noticed they have different power output restrictions in the different bands. What kind of range can I expect to get in each band? Thanks in advance! � Rex �
