Re: [WISPA] 900 MHz Omni-Directional Antennas PRICE!?

[Blair Davis]

Well, I'm deploying SR9's with MikroTik next week.  Can't beat the RB112's for price.  Put them in the Pac-wireless NEMA boxes for clients with yagis and hoping to see the 900 MHz Rootennas soon.... We will be using RB532A's for our AP's.  I'm planning on using Netstream with polling for our setup. Also considering cavity filters on the AP's. After testing, we are going H-pol only on 900 MHz.  Better range and lower noise floor...  900 MHz H-pol omnis are $800+!! Waiting on a friend to send me some 900 MHz panels for testing....  Soon, I hope.... Looking at a trick to use two 60deg Hpol panels together, but have to wait for them to get here.... Joshua M.
