Re: [AFMUG] Mimosa B24

In my experience, Mikrotik 60ghz is less sensitive to alignment than the B24 because of the beamforming on the Mikrotiks. I've never been able to get a full gig out of the B24s, but I think the shortest link I've done with them is around a mile and a half. 60ghz shouldn't have any problems at a

Frankly I don’t log in to it, or the Mimosa cloud very often. We use it at shorter ranges, so not sure what max distance is. Seems to be able to do 1Gbps one direction at any given time, not sure if it’s FDX. We don’t load them up though, just handling regular 100-200Mbps daily peak traffic on
