[AFMUG] PtP Link w\ Foliage

2017-01-10 Thread Mike Hammett
Would a PtP link in 900 with FSK gear be appropriate for a 1/2 mile shot with trees and whatnot? It is in a river valley, connecting buildings on either side of the river. It's just running a webcam and it's going to DSL, so there's not THAT much throughput needed or available. AP at camera si

Should work quite well. I imagine PDMnet has lots of FSK 900APs and SMs for sale. On Jan 10, 2017 9:32 PM, "Mike Hammett" wrote: > Would a PtP link in 900 with FSK gear be appropriate for a 1/2 mile shot > with trees and whatnot? It is in a river valley, connecting buildings on > either side of

YES, Should work fine depending on tree foilage density and type. Pine = NO :) Leafy type should work fine. Keep in mind 900 fsk is only 7.5Mhz wide and is only capable of about 4Mbs On 1/10/2017 9:32 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: Would a PtP link in 900 with FSK gear be appropriate for a 1/2 mile

Mike We use UBNT RM9 and KP yagi for shot just like that for hard to reach customers With 20Mhz channel they see about 16 to 18 meg thru Mitch On 01/10/2017 10:12 PM, Colin Stanners wrote: Should work quite well. I imagine PDMnet has lots of FSK 900APs and SMs for sale. On Jan 10, 2017

UBNT 900mhz works fairly well for PtP shots, and it will get more bandwidth. But if 4mbps is all you need, FSK tends to work a bit more consistently... and it might be a little cheaper. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 8:28 AM, Mitch Koep wrote: > Mike > > We use UBNT RM9 and KP yagi for shot just like t

We have a 900 MHz PTP link using UBNT NanoStation Loco M900 on each end. It's about 1/2 mile, through a few trees (I wouldn't say thick trees), signal -51, 20 MHz channel, peaks about 28 Mbps most nights.

Mike, if this is a one-off project that you're just looking to get out of the way, then I'm sure I can dig through our piles of 900 FSK radios and find a couple P9 APs. The problem with P9s is the GUI is horribly slow when there's 15-20+ SMs registered, but for a PTP link it's more than fine. S
