We have used some 7 1/2 ft dishes from the C-band days along with Ubiquity M series and got close to 1 Gigabit per second. Our only problem has been which direction to face the satellite dish. We chose between the old faithful Galaxy 5 satellite and the Telstar 5 satellite. Both seemed to pick

~-55 We are running the signal through ~300feet of 6Ghz waveguide and are ~100 feet above the other antenna with no down-tilt, so we are using the bottom side lobe of the signal. The dish only has a 0.9 degree beam width. On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 8:31 PM, Jayson Baker jay...@spectrasurf.com

10Mbps to 100Mbps works for 3G services, but 4G requires 100Mbps per base station... with multiple base stations per tower you're looking at 500Mbps. TDM is then desires on top of that because the carriers still have a lot of equipment running on TDM type services. So the RFP's you have seen

In the Advanced tab you'll see Enable AirMax. If it's not checked then it's off. If it's on, you won't even see the SSID of the newer units from the old, at least I haven't been able to. But I've been connecting my older NS5's to the newer stuff with no problem but I've only been using 20mhz

If the Bullet 5M is in station mode then you won't have the AirMax option, only if it's in AP mode. So, if you are not in AP mode on the 5M then AirMax isn't an issue. Have you tried setting the 5M as the AP the NS5 as the client? That's if you are doing this on the bench.. :) Make sure
