That’s just crazy, unless you can tolerate outages whenever it rains. Whatever number you use for rain fade per mile, let’s say 10 dB/mile at 24 GHz, multiply by 12. No way you are going to get 120 dB fade margin. The only way would be if your weather is such that it never rains over more than a very small area at the same time.
The guy with the forum post says he has a –73 signal, and I assume that’s with zero rain. Also he replaced his AF5, rather than keeping it to fail over during fades. Even in 11 GHz, I think most of us are looking for signal in the 40’s and would never design a main backhaul for –73.

I can't imagine the multi-state shots that they'll do with these....My furthest shoots less than a mile. No experience with the HD yet, but I'd probably be willing to push it up to almost two miles. Here is a guy doing 12 miles https://community.ubnt.com/t5/airFiber-Stories/AF24HD-12-Mile-Link/cns-p/1179062 On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 10:11 AM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: Where?
