It's just math. What's your received signal? What's your received interference? 
Is the difference greater than what the modulation you want to use requires?

Garth, what distances are your customers. A lot off ours are at 4 miles from 
mountain peak out to 10 miles off the same AP. Do M5 ACs perform well over 
those distances. We have no AC radios deployed at this time. I am trying to 
figure out where to upgrade to PRISMs and where to do Mimosa. In either case it 
is 90% of customers that will need truck roll.
