We are using the PacWireless 11 dB yagis for our AP. We are fortunate in that we have a narrow valley so that two 11 dB yagis cover both directions very nicely.
I set up and AP 42 km from my first install. It is linked at 5.8 GHz with 3 foot dishes and CM9 radios. I get -70 dB signals and it is solid. For a hoot I turned the 900 AP into a client and did a site survey and it saw and was able to link to the 900 AP 42 km away. The signal was a -76 dB and it was very usable and no packet loss. This is with near perfect LOS. The other direction had a very large group of trees to go through BUT I still saw a -84 dB signal from 20 km and it was stable and usable.

Thank you for sharing this information with the list Joe, I appreciate it and I'm sure others do too! Please let us know if you decide to play with 900Mhz using an omni instead of a sector as I would be interested in hearing the range that is possible with an omni compared to a sector. I have my eye on the PacWireless OD9-11 (http://tinyurl.com/vq7dj). TGIF. Shannon D. Denniston, Co-Founder KyWiFi, LLC - Mt.

MT with SR9 on a 532a. Client is a Rb112. Superpass 10dbi sector and a 10dbi panel for the client. While its not the golden bullet sorta speak I am very impressed with it. What better place to test than City Park. Its full of old tall oaks. From about two miles out I was seeing -75 signal and easily squeezing 2 megs up and down. I always see a lower upload on other gear but the 900 down and up always seemed to be almost the same. I have had many calls from a subdivision that was flooded from the storm and they still do not have bell or cable in there. I tried doing two houses in that subdivision without any luck with 2.4. Its loaded with trees. Well from my truck at these two locations I had no problem seeing a -72 signal. As I got a little closer to the pop maybe 1 mile I was seeing a -70 with still quite a few trees in the way and I was seeing four megs up and down This is where it seemed to peak out at. Like someone said its another tool in the tool box. Its just what I needed because while 2.4 will burn through some trees the 900m shots will do so much better.
