Yeah, straying off-topic but our 6GHz link is actually a Trango that we own
and are moving around as we upgrade to higher capacity backhauls.

2018-06-08 Thread Mathew Howard
The older ubiquiti radios can be set to "compliance test" mode, and then
you can use any channel that the chipset supports (not legally, obviously).
On later firmware, they get rid of that option, and the new radios are
locked to the US/Canada country code, so they're a lot harder to do
blatantly illegal stuff with (unless you get the world wide version, which
you aren't supposed to be able to buy in the US, but it's not hard to get
one if you really want to). I don't think you can get too far into the 6ghz
range with a normal Rocket, but they did (maybe still do... ) make an M6
version for the Russian market...

That's because airfibers use a fixed up/down ratio (75/25, in this case). 
If you needed 50/50, this link would only be get you somewhere around 140Mbps 
each way.

Signal is just a little too low to get 8X (256qam) on this case, but I 
probably could if I changed them to the new HD version, since they can get a 
little higher power at any given modulation, and they can achieve higher 
modulations at lower signal levels... it might even be able to do 1024qam (it 
probably could with 3' dishes anyway). going to a 50mhz channel would also add 
some 20% capacity (50mhz is the max for the standard af-5x, but the hd can go 
up to 100mhz if you have lots of spectrum to burn).



An entire link with 2' dishes should come to router around $1000. I haven't 
priced the 3' dishes recently, but they are quite a bit pricier.

That's because airfibers use a fixed up/down ratio (75/25, in this case). If 
you needed 50/50, this link would only be get you somewhere around 140Mbps each 
way.
Signal is just a little too low to get 8X (256qam) on this case, but I probably 
could if I changed them to the new HD version, since they can get a little 
higher power at any given modulation, and they can achieve higher modulations 
at lower signal levels... it might even be able to do 1024qam (it probably 
could with 3' dishes anyway). going to a 50mhz channel would also add some 20% 
capacity (50mhz is the max for the standard af-5x, but the hd can go up to 
100mhz if you have lots of spectrum to burn).

An entire link with 2' dishes should come to router around $1000. I haven't 
priced the 3' dishes recently, but they are quite a bit pricier.

First, I'd recommend the new AF5XHD which is a huge upgrade over the AF5x. 

You can then use that radio with either the 30db or 34db dish you listed. At 15 
miles, I would recommend the 34db dish as that is quite the long haul. If the 
customer is paying any decent amount of money, you'll recoup your costs quickly.

With 34db dishes and clean 20mhz spectrum, you can easily move about 240 Mbps 
aggregate through the link with 10x modulation and you can decide duty cycle 
like 50/50 for 120 Mbps each way or 75/25, etc.

I wouldn’t go non-HD on the AF at this point. last I checked AF is only fixed 
ratio but might be fine. But speeds using 5AC won’t be slow comparatively.

Here's an example of a 25km AF-5x link using 2' dishes. I'd probably use
AF-5xHD radios these days, and I'd use the airFiber dishes (the only
difference between them and the RocketDish LW is that they're slant vs H/V).

First, I'd recommend the new AF5XHD which is a huge upgrade over the AF5x.

You can then use that radio with either the 30db or 34db dish you listed.
At 15 miles, I would recommend the 34db dish as that is quite the long
haul. If the customer is paying any decent amount of money, you'll recoup
your costs quickly.

With 34db dishes and clean 20mhz spectrum, you can easily move about 240
Mbps aggregate through the link with 10x modulation and you can decide duty
cycle like 50/50 for 120 Mbps each way or 75/25, etc.

Which is better, Rocket 5AC + RocketDish LW
or
AF5X + AF-5G34-S45

?

Or some other brand.  Hauling out PTP to a customer.  Like to keep the 
bandwidth up but they are not currently asking for more than 100 Mbps.
