In cases of congestion, ought you not use antennas with smaller beamwidths?

Omni's have their places. Physical space limitations, frequency congestion, low density, mobile applications, cost, etc. Sometimes it's the right tool for the job.

We had a tower taken out by a storm. When we replaced it I finally upgraded to 802.11n as I wanted and went with a DP omni rather than sectors. RB711 UA2HnD + ARC 13dBi DP Omni I'm fine tuning the network, made some adjustments on a tower 12 miles away, one customer didn't come back up. I started checking my other APs as sometimes they'll hop if close enough, didn't find anything. I went to the new AP 12 miles away, the client was connected to it from a little over 12 miles apparently off a sidelobe of an Airgrid 16dBi. The grid is pointing at least 20 degrees off, and I never expected that shot to work if it *was* pointed the right direction. I'm impressed. -- Mark Radabaugh Amplex [email protected] 419.837.5015 x 1021
