No trees. It's a 180 unit apartment complex. We are penetrating buildings at 10ft - 1/4 mile using AirBridge Ethernet clients and AirPointPro Outdoors with 180 sectors. We recently replace Orinoco gear at the tower and I've had to place a repeater to handle an area that is spotty. A few long shots are having problems and we're trying to determine the tolerances that the equipment will handle.

What type of CPE are you using? Are the AirBridges? What kind of antenna on the CPE? At what distance? What type of trees? Are they associating at 11Mbit, 5.5, 2, or 1? We've got 120 foot tall fir trees around here. Nothing but a big stick full of water sticking out of the ground. Can't pound signal through them with a hammer if you tried. Every install IS indeed very different. If our RSSI drops below about 75% we can't pass any traffic at all. 75-80% we get an association that bounces between 1Mbit and 11Mbit link, and anything about 85% stays pretty solid at 11Mbit and passes about 2.3Mbit in our download test.
