You are asking a fair question, but the answer to this question is based
on a lot of IF's and But's....
Frequency of 3.65 should have very similar characteristics of 2.4
UBNT Dual Polarity appears to have a great advantage over single
polarity when shooting thru Foliage
Going thru "Foliage" has a different meaning to everyone....
Question becomes how much RSSI you have that you can Loose to Foliage
and still deliver what you need to deliver to the customer.
Contrary to popular belief, we have a few 5Ghz (UBNT M) links going thru
(one or two trees). but these are very short links,
To give you a direct comparison.. (distance is less than 1/4 mile)
Two CPE's shooting to the same AP (all Ubnt M with Airmax / 20Mhz
Channel), radios are on two warehouse one unit apart.. (i.e. (unit # 1
and Unit # 3 on the same row).
CPE # 1 going thru Thick leafy Tree ... (NSM Loco M5) power output
10dbm, signal -77to-79/-70, signal strength -70
CPE # 2clear LOS .. (NSM Loco M5) power output 5dbm, signal -60/-64
....Signal strength -59
needless to say both links are capable of delivering well over 20megs
(customer is not buying as much).
The point is .. if you have RSSI to spare, if you can loose 10-15db
going thru a tree and still get a decent signal then you may be good
regardless of what frequency you are using...
We have found that Dual Polarity on the Ubnt M radios has a very big
positive impact on going thru Foliage or even making short Non-LOS links...
Of course you mileage may vary...

How does the Ubnt 3.65 perform where going thru light foliage perhaps
only one or two trees? What kind of throughput? We are thinking of
switching some of our 2.4 over to 3.65 because of interference issues.
Thanks
