I too cannot justify the cost of 5Ghz yet. We have used a SB APPO to connect to the next town at 12.6 miles. Your customer base should really not matter at this time. A 11 mb radio can pass 6 mb of data. 60% rule of ethernet. We have used H-pol for quite some time between towns, best way to stretch 2.4Ghz. It would be worth checking to see if anyone else in the area is doing the same with H-pol. The only issue/problem SB has right now it there is no way to monitor the p-t-p link between towns without switching modes. I certainly hope SB is working on this too. So to answer your question, yes a 4 mile hop should be real easy if it is LOS.

I'm looking at putting up a 4 mile backhaul link. It will be hauling at most probably fifty CPE @ 256k/128k. What would you recommend for this? Will the APPO or AP Total work for this? I really cannot afford a 5.8 shot right now, and was hoping that a set of these put with with the opposite polarization of the Access Point would work in lieu of an expensive 5.8 shot. (The access point will be vertical, the backhaul horizontal. The access point will be at 200 feet, and the backhaul at 100.)
Thanks Sam
