Maybe leapfrog with some back to back rockets or picos or whatever is cheap at the treeline. Solar powered.

For the original poster's problem I would try, if possible, moving up to 3' dishes on both ends, and ac based radios. And using a 10 MHz channel. Might have a better chance of getting a signal like -61 (not -71) and through "some" trees.

If there are 900mhz smart meters around, don't even bother... but even if there aren't, 900mhz can be pretty unpredictable in my experience. If you do go 900mhz, PTP450 is definitely the best option.

The 900 on a 10Mhz channel we see around 35Mbs in a noisy environment on 8x/4xmimoB rate. If your doing ptp with it then open it up to 20Mhz wide and bang on.

What kind of signal level do you get with the 2.4ghz radios? you could probably get a bit more out of it by going to airFiber 2x or Rocket 2AC radios... and maybe a bigger dish.

Currently using 2.4ghz Ubnt radios. Works great during the winter, but once the trees fill back in, the link drops to about 5Mbps actual throughput. Would be nice to get 20Mbps. > > Any suggestions? The trees are 80ft tall, so putting up a 100ft tower at a residence is not really an option. The other side is on top of a 1000ft tall hill. > > Travis > --
