Consider testing some mimo 'n' gear...such as ubiquiti ... you should be able to get the 60+mbps range you are looking for. You did not say how long is the link ? (we have 2 rocket m5 w/2ft dishes, on a 8.7 mile link, with not a clean LOS, the radios are turned down in power to 20dbm, 20mhz channel, (chain0=71-73dbm/chain1=70-74dbm), the wireless side is TX/RX = 117Mbps/117Mbps...... thruput testing shows 50+Mb/s).
The only stickler would be that currently the dual-polarity antenna's are not quiet in the 24db range.. they have 2ft dishes, 29db.... Nanobridges .... 10inch dish (very narrow beamwidth). should be available in the US 30-60 days. or wait for the Powerbridge M (built 2x2 Mimo, dual polarity 24db pannel)... about 90-120 days. Faisal.
