Open waveguides have about 10 dB gain and about a 50 degree pattern. From: Josh Reynolds Sent: Friday, April 15, 2016 10:47 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Small ePMP AP
I like the horn design because they're very clean as far as antenna coverage goes, and they're also good for covering both close in customers as well as several miles out. Much better than a standard sector. Also they're small "A F", but solidly built. Low wind load means you can put more of them on a micropop 25G.

A sector that moves the vertical beamwidth from 4 degrees to 90 degrees will have a very detrimental effect on gain. That said, the lack of gain everywhere outside of the intended area is non-existent, meaning much lower noise. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Josh Reynolds" <j...@kyneticwifi.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, April 15, 2016 11:32:11 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Small ePMP AP They're great for 802.11ac style micropops Good vertical coverage though, much better than a sector.
