Ok guys...Looking for both Mikrotik experience and others. We currently have a Mikrotik backhaul between each of our towers using NStreme and we have been extremely happy with the performance. We recently upgraded a tower because we were hitting 15M or so during peak times and was afraid it couldn't handle much more. We upgraded that backhaul to a Motorola PTP for future capacity.
The questions: MT Gurus: Each backhaul ranges in distance, each ranges from 3 miles (3 backhauls) and the rest are about 12 miles (5 backhauls). Since we have been using Mikrotik, I have reliably seen up to 10 Meg, and I am afraid 15 Meg is pushing the envelope on a 20 MHz channel. How much capacity can I reliably push on a 20 MHz channel using NStreme? Other Gurus: I understand the following are loaded questions, but budget is around $1000-3000 range and the capacity needs to be around the 60Meg mark (30 each way or without a defined 1:1 guarantee, capability to flex and be able to push 30M each way). If I start upgrading to larger backhauls on busy links, what type of equipment should I look at? What can support VoIP? Anything that GPS times for frequency reuse? Anything work in the 5.4GHz range at a 12 mile distance?
