I would probably put them on 5160 in a narrow channel with the power turned way down.

I personally wouldn't put a Nano/LocoM5 on a tower with any other 5ghz radios... way too much noise leaks out the backside of those things.

It will usually still get them 15Mbps, without sacrificing too much spectrum at the tower.

I have been considering just putting an omni down there, since it rarely works well shooting up at the APs. At grain legs, I have sometimes done a low powered PTP link with something like NS5 Locos just for a scale house, maintenance shop, or house right at the leg. Then you can tilt it down. I think it’s more than just hearing all the APs, there seem to be problems being outside the main lobe of the antenna, plus reflections off tower steel, even once you get the signal level to an acceptable point, SNR and modulation can be disappointing. If you’re convinced the only problem is too strong a signal, you could always use an external antenna and an inline coax attenuator.

My only thought process was to do an integrated radio *inside* the office building to keep from hearing every AP on the tower. We've had some issues with nearby customers using a Force110/Beam hearing way too much of the tower so we moved to Integrated/Nano to solve their problems. I have a business that needs service and it's literally the same address as the tower (150 feet up). It's 60 feet away to the middle of the office but the ends are about 120 feet away.
