[AFMUG] 60Ghz PtMP, Why Doesn't Everyone Have It?

2017-05-08 Thread Sterling Jacobson
What am I missing here? Can't Cambium and UBNT and others simply overlay the same radio architecture/software they have developed over a decade, on top of a 60GHz radio instead of 5Ghz? Is there some fundamental problem with using the same PHY later protocols on 60GHz vs 5GHz?

The atmospheric characteristics of 60 GHz are radically different. Antenna design is very different due to frequency for anything resembling a "sector". Unless you want PtMP that's only good within 250 meters... More challenging than you might think. A lot of the work that has been done over the

The top reasons that come to mind right away are: (1) Range. How close can you tolerate? It's not going to go very far in a PMP environment. Maybe a few hundred yards. If there are trees, forget about it. (2) Modulation. Don't expect something in that frequency to be doing higher level modul

1000 to 2000 ft distance is really optimistic for PtMP in 60 GHz even... With FCC EIRP limits for 60 GHz PTP the longest it's good for around here is 600 meters. A little bit more out to 800-900m with the weird Bridgewave 60 GHz product that combines regular maximum Tx power but uses a 60 cm dish o
