Meant to say, aren’t much farther than a couple miles. Although even that number is going to get longer in a year or so for omnis.

And in cases of non-congestion where aesthetics are important, you don’t have more than 50-60 clients, and most clients are much farther than a couple miles, (although 12 is amazing), it works pretty well.

In cases of congestion, ought you not use antennas with smaller beamwidths? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> ________________________________ From: "Mark Radabaugh via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 8, 2014 8:33:15 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Now I'm impressed. 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
