First, we were talking 900 not 5.8. VL isn't going to go through 2 miles of
trees. But your math is not wrong.
Anywhere one anticipates that they can get 25 subecribers from a cell site,
VL is likely the preferred choice.
The problem is that there are many areas where 25 clients off an AP will
The value of an OEM solution is not the single radio unit, its the fact that
you can add the second card/antenna for $100 bucks more.
Its the convenient of making a relay, in one easy to mount cosmetically

PS. With that said, I also recognize the value of a Legal reliable VL CPE.
In a lab yes. In my noise floor, real throughout is no where close to that.

John, we had an instance of the voltage regulator on the 532 causing
interference in the public safety band (154 MHz). We were able to change it
to 12V and the problem went away. 48V had a problem, and 12V fixed our
problem.

John,
The last I heard, it was an issue caused by running the boards on 48 vDC. I
don't think it is a problem if you are running them on lower voltages. I

The real issue is that Mikrotik is ignoring the problem. I have

There is a HUGE problem with Mikrotik and FCC certification. The
Mikrotik 532 puts out over 30db of constant "noise" in an area they
should not be (150MHz and 400MHz). It's still an issue, and has not been
fixed or even addressed by MT.

How can you do 5 meg per client on 900 MHz? You would have to have
several times that speed available per sector. Are you using the whole

self-interference on adjacent sectors?
