We're using a mix of AirBridge Indoor and AirBridge Outdoor. One client is using a 24db grid to burn through a local tree and they get about 900Kbps at 3/4 of a mile. It's all going to depend on the makeup of the trees.
On the flip side of that, with semi-clear line-of-sight I've got one customer at 7.5 miles using an AB outdoor unit with a 19db grid. They get about 2.3Mbit on an unrestricted test.
