Use 2 APPo with 24dB grid antenna. The APPo looking at you main tower will be in CB mode. The 2 APPo are connected using a switch or crossover cable. The APPo point to the community will be in AP mode. The community tower will be identical with the exception of the APPo in AP mode will use an omni or sector antenna. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sajeeva Salgadoe Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 10:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Repeater, Client Bridge or 2 APP's Hi,    We have a small community with around 20 customers, which is located around 10 miles away from our main tower. We want to provide service to them and not sure how we can provide the service to them. We have installed APPO with 13.5db omni directional on a 120 feet tower. We can't get the LOS to the community so have to install a repeater, or Client Bridge some where between the tower and the community. We are not sure whether APPO in CB mode with omni can solve this problem. (5miles radius might be too much for omni). Best solution might be putting a APPO with 2 directional antennas( Is it possible to do this ? if  'yes' , how ?). Also we think about installing 2 APPO's and bridge them. Not sure this can be done without having any external router.   I appreciate your ideas and suggestion about this matter   Thanks Sajeeva
