There are ways to do it without sync. I have over 120 Trango AP's
(over 30 of them with omni antennas) all running perfectly. Some
towers have as many as 4 AP's in the same band within 10ft of each other.
The point of sync is that you don't generally have to think about where
your AP's are located in relation to each other on the site unless you
are re-using frequencies at the site. Many of my sites have 2 omni's
within a few feet of each other, and on the same horizontal plane. We
have one site which actually has two 120* sectors within 18 inches or so
of each other, pointed in the same direction - and on adjacent
freqencies (I.E. the Canopy equivalent of Trango's 5v and 6v).
Without sync you have to think about things like separation and
polarities and antenna patterns and so on to ensure that you get enough
separation (frequency, distance, and/or polarization) between the AP's.
Yes, you can do it. Yes, you can make it work. Yes, you can make it
work well, but it's not easy.
Just to clarify, the above is talking about synchronizing all radios at
a specific site, not across your network. That's a whole different
discussion.
