We are planning to use them on 10-12m steel poles. The poles are very solid built and with a concrete <http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/concrete.html> foundation <http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/foundation.html>
but they might sway a bit due to the length with heavy wind. Is this critical? Is failover with 5Ghz fast enough to overcome short moves?

We are seeing -55/-59 on our 450m link and on our 250m link we are seeing -43/-47 signal (and had to reduce power on 60ghz on one side.. .i.e. we are not aligned perfectly ) So I can say affirmatively there is no 'missing power' it has to do with alignment... :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net <mailto:supp...@snappytelecom.net> _____ From: "Stefan Englhardt" <s...@genias.net <mailto:s...@genias.net> > To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2016 3:14:16 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Metrolinq Do you get the calculated rx-power?

We have been using the larger units (Circular cones) for links 250m to 450m successfully.. aiming them with the shipping brackets is a whole another challenge.. I am very happy to the the LR brackets available and those should go long ways is aligning longer links. .

We tried a 900' link and couldn't get the 60Ghz side to work. We were able to move one end and get it down to 600' and have a 60GHz link at -55 but that is 10-15db below where it should be. It's working, but at this point I wouldn't use it for anything over 500' or so.

FWIW, there is no dfs support on 5ghz (not sure about non-american rules). If you are bench testing... you need to turn down the power on 5ghz .. way down....

The 5GHz Part does strange things. Does not initialze or does not connect. Syslog gives dfs or cant initialize messages. 60GHz is up immediately und runs stable in lab. Latency is low. Feels like a 1G cable connection. Powered by Netonix 24V. Takes only 6 Watts. Good build quality. Webinterface is easy and fast. So a cheap option for fast short hops where you dont want to dig. -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707
