Our stategy has been to use high quality AP sector antennas with really good
F/B ratio. Cutting out noise is equivellent to adding gain.
Not that I'm against hipower cards, I'm just saying so many people forget
about F/B radio in their antenna choices and that Noise is accumulative from
360 degrees.

Amps?
The success of G is less noise and less power. IMHO
Never looked for a G amp or tried a G high powered card.

Nothing scientific Mac, but I think lots of G ap's work better than lots
of B ap's.
Seems when I've seen high powered B ap's in the mix there can be issues.
Where as when I see only low powered G things still work.
The area I cover is fairly small, so i'm getting densly built out with
omni's and sectors all over the place.

How are y'all running "G" in so many places? I would love to implement
G,
but I have so many towers sectored out and then we have so many clients
running wireless routers close to the CPE that I feel like there would

trouble in Paradise here!!
Are any of you running G on anything but an Omni antenna? (Multiple
antennas on one tower?)

Totally agree. A bad G link will still give as good as a GOOD B link.
G will give 5 mbps even when it is close to not connecting and B
requires superb signals to get 5 mbps.

I have quite abit of G out there. All the clients and ap's I install
today are G.
60's is great, 70's work just fine too.
60's get top performance, 70' is still a great very fast connection
and
even low 80's beat B.
B stands for Bad
G stands for Good

It's not about antenna size. It's about signal levels.
Most g radios need -60ish signal levels to work well. Use the
antennas
that you need to make it work right.
Find the sensitivity levels of the product you are using, run the
calcs,
and compute a 10 dB or so fade margin.

I wanted to get some feedback from the List.
Typically, what Dbi gain antennas are you desiring for OFDM short
Near-LOS or Mid-range CPE links?
Is 18 dbi enough?
I'm well aware that 18dbi will not be good for many applications
(long
range or noisy), but what percentage of CPE installtions would it be
good for?
Could 75% of the CPE installs be acheived with 18dbi?
I personally, would pick a 21-23db antenna as a preferred choice,
but
PacWireless Rootennas are 19dbi, and often used with 13-15 dbm CM9
cards. The beamwidth of 18dbi (< 20-30 degrees) is pretty good for
interference resilience and OFDM maximized, and if more gain was
needed it could be accommodated with higher power radios such
Teletronic's >18dbm Atheros cards or Ubiquiti's SR5 18-26db cards.
