The AF5X was just submitted in January. It is certified under the new rules.
With a 34dBi antenna you would actually have to be running at -4dBm in UNII-2, so that would be more like -67.If I'm reading that FCC cert. right, it looks like they're able to do something like 27dBm in 5.8ghz... why are they able to do higher power than in UNII-1? Were they still able to get it certified under the old rules? Mimosa stuff is stuck with the same 17dbm in UNII-3 as it is in UNII-1, since they're only certified under the new rules.On Sat, Mar 7, 2015 at 1:22 PM, Jerry Richardson <[email protected]> wrote:Thanks,
Planning a 11.2 mile link with 34dB antennas in UNII-1
I get the following theoretical levels:
UNII-1: 17dB ~Rx -43dB (right at the recommended max – probably would turn it down)
UNII-2: 5dB ~Rx -58dB
UNII-3: 27dB ~Rx -36db (obviously too hot – would turn down)
With 75% duty cycle we should see roughly 375/125 although I’d take 80% of that.

You can reach 48db with a 3’ dish

Thanks,
This statement from Wikipedia made me pause…
200 watts (+53 dBm) point-to-point. [1] However, strict out-of-band emission rules limit practical point-to-point power to lower levels.
I can work with 17dB

Sorry, 17 db.. Miscalculated by a decimal point

Anyone know what the AF5X max Tx power is for the UNII-1 band?
My understanding is that in PTP the rules are the same as for 5.7-5.8.
