We've been doing 3x120 in 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Using StarOS on the X4000 boards, it is right around $1000 for a three sector setup, and that includes the AP and antennas. Mounting hardware and labor varies according to the type of installation. If it is a rooftop or other structure that doesn't

I agree with this. For example: What should be my best tower is one of my worst because it is quad-sectored. I have a simular tower at another location that is tri-sectored and it performs better than expected. As far as an omni, I use them only where the spectrum is clean, eventually switching to

Mike, Just my 2 cents worth (after 50 years of RF experience). In many cases, four 90-degree sectors is a waste of money. You will have more sector overlap than need. Three 120-degree sectors is just as effective and costs less. A single omni is normally a bad idea. You have no protection from

Since Patrick posed that question about cost for a typical 3 sector tower, I ask the following question: How many sectors is typical for you? My answer is 4x 90*, unless it's a small area repeater, which is then a single omni, or different as that situation requires. - Mike Hammett Intell
