If you need to use 5.1ghz, ePMP seems like the best option to me at this point. I haven't seen anything else that can do as high of TX power yet, and who knows when any AC stuff will be out for that band.
For 5.8ghz, yes, I agree AC is probably the way to go now. ________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of Rory Conaway via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 4:53 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] BH distances 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.

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 �
