I tried those once, and the adhesive failed in the Summer when the box got hot. Granted, this was for another company before we were using fans. Have any of you been using them long-term? How do they hold up over the years? On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 10:26 AM, David Coudron <

What others have said about distance. Short (up to 3 miles or so) 24 GHz. Medium (up to 8-9 miles) 18 GHz. Long (up to 20 miles) 11 GHz. Longest 6 GHz. I disagree with the B11 versus AF11. The AF11 will provide more throughput on less spectrum. Probably less expensive too. bp

I stuck them on painted drywall once and they fell off the next day. Stuck them on a painted metal box 3 years ago and they're still there. Adhesive performance definitely varies by surface, so I do back them up with a screw wherever that's feasible. Anyway on the original topic we've

11Ghz 6-10 miles 24GZ good for 1-2miles in high rain fade areas, longer distance if you have backup and don't care about rain fade. >>>For 11 GHz, we would likely stay with the Mimosa product line Not a bad decision, depending on channel availability don't chalk off the

Yes, the AF11 can do more throughput on the same spectrum compared to the B11, but the B11 can use more spectrum (a lot more, granted), so it can do more throughput than the AF11 can. You can get close to a full gig in one direction with the B11 (assuming you can license enough spectrum), but you

Our experience has been we get more throughput and more reliability from the AF11 than the B11. The B11s always seemed to be choking on high throughput. We gave up on them, and the AF11s are easier to license in congested areas anyway. bp On 2/10/2018 5:12 PM,

I have always been scared to use them (24 Ghz) beyond 2 miles. I want to know (and perhaps Liz or Tim are still lurking here), is there any way to re-use your 11 GHz channels in your local area? The big problem for me is the cost of the license. UBNT or Mimosa ought to figure out a way to

Yeah... a 6 mile 24ghz link would probably work, but it's going to be dropping pretty much every time it rains... and I'd be kind of surprised if you could even get airfiber 24s to link at 10 miles. Interference isn't really something you typically have to worry about on 24ghz, even though it's

AF24 is only going to be 5 9's reliable to about 1-2 miles depending on your rain zone. for 2-4 miles you could use 23Ghz (way more EIRP than 24Ghz) 4-8 miles 18Ghz 8-20 miles 11 Ghz and anything longer than that 6Ghz. unless you can mount really big dishes for 11. On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 5:05
