Use an AirFiber at 5 GHz as a hot standby for the 11 GHz system. Hardest rain I ever saw in my life was at your office Gino. Waited a half hour for it to let up to get to the car to pick up my wife standing by the building. That 30 second run to the car got me as wet as if I had jumped in the shower fully clothed for 5 minutes. Could not have been any more drenched.
Then down the street from your office, the street had two feet of water in it. I was worried the engine electrical would short out. Rain Loss in PR is more like “will it work under water”...

I for sure wouldn't do -68 because your receiver sensitivity for the higher QAMs is usually around -70ish. Since you are in a heavy rain zone that's pretty much a no-go. What kind of obstacles make it a NLOS shot? How much bandwidth do you need to push? -Sean On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, Gino Villarini <[email protected]> wrote: We have a customer requiring a high mrc link. its a NLOS shot of 1 mile. We did a test with a pair of SAF cfip106 in 11 ghz with a 2' dish on one end and 3' on the other. Tx power at 19 db rssi came in at -68 ( about 30db loss) Would you do it? Im worried about loss during rain (wet leaves) 5 ghz could be an option but the tower is crowded at 5 ghz
