I use Ruckus for my wireless bridges when needed. Setup is simple and robust. There were times when I have to setup a tripod on a roof with a POE network connection and have it link to another antenna 2000 ft away. The setup was: eyeball the two, turn on the antennas and move the tripod/antenna until I got the best signal via an LED signal bar on the antenna. System sync done. Period.
I averaged over 300MB unless it rained so hard you couldn't see the other building and it would go down to 200MB speed. I actually had one tripodded antenna fall off the roof; hung upside down, pointing at the wall of the building 180 degrees for the way it should have and was supported by the ethernet cable and it took me a week to realize it since the signal Harry Rauch Sr. Network Analyst Eckerd College 4200 - 54th Ave S St. Petersburg, FL 33711 On 6/18/15 1:38 PM, Mike Ricci wrote: As our campus rapidly changes and grows, we began placing office spaces in our offsite residential housing. Initially, we built out a large two story office area that has a fixed connection back to our main campus. Networking within the same building was simple as we did this during the renovation. With our growth, the administration is now planning on throwing together another Ad Hoc office space in a separate building. This building is relatively close to our main office space (+-50 feet), however we have no cabling between buildings and no conduits in place. I’m interested in testing out a low latency line of site wireless bridge, one that I could utilize to distribute to multiple buildings as our growth continues, across up to 1000 feet and from 100-1000mbps speeds. Can you share what vendors you’ve had success with? Engenius, Ubiquiti, etc., come to mind initially.
