I’m seeing much better channel re-use with these as well. You might want to give them a try, you might be surprised. Each time I performed a complete tower conversion, I gained several new channel options.

If you have to run some at DFS specs and others at 5.8GHz power levels, then to cover 360 degrees, that’s a lot of noise. Just depends on the environment.

I’m putting up some Titanium ones up shortly without shields because of the wind load issues on this particular tower. When an 802.11ac or equivalent comes out with GPS synch, then I’ll look at the tighter antennas. Until then, I’m actually planning on using the smaller 5Ghz antennas with RF Armor shields at the top. With DFS, the extra 3dBi doesn’t matter.

They seem cleaner that the previous antennas in regards to FB ratio and sidelobes. I did a mass replace of rfarmor sectors with AC sectors and saw improved performance across the board. Their general shielding is structurally similar to the way RF armor works.
