My question would be does having the 2 antennas/radios (5 and 2.4) in one
antenna enclosure 'significantly' decrease sensitivity/performance/efficiency
on say a 250ft tower as opposed to having the two antennas separate. It
would be nice to not pay for more seperate antennas on commercial sites but we
need top notch performance on these. Obviously the antenna performance would
be at least slightly less, I think of more concern is having two unsynced
radios blasting right next to each other regardless of them being on different
frequencies. Raw wattage and harmonics and stuff that are really over my head.
Only reason I haven't tried all this is because ultimately. We might want
independent downtilts on the 2.4 vs 5.x.
I'm sure they would work great on small sites were you are just trying to
reduce your weight and wind loading and need more capacity.

Everybody sounds like they are pleased with the Itelite antennas as well?
Because three antennas to give us 3 120 2.4GHz and 3 120 5GHz sectors sounds
awfully appealing. They seem to state that they will house the Rocket M radios
as well as found on this page:
http://www.itelite.net/en/Katalog/Ubiquiti-Antennas/
Though from that page it does not appear to have any 2/4/5 combo antennas
listed. Would prefer to keep the rockets mounted inside of something and
preferably metal.
Thanks for any feedback.

Itelite Sectors with 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless cards in a Mikrotik Routerboard is
what we have on a couple of towers. Three antennas for full coverage in 2.4
and 5g. Point to multipoint on both bands.

Good Morning,
I believe I know the answer to this already, however my managers wanted
me to ask. Has anyone ever heard of an access point that has two
different frequencies (ie. 2.4 and 5.8) and each of their antennas
integrated all into a single unit? The thought process behind this being
to save on tower space and load.
This isn't referring to a full duplex configuration used for ptp links
where one frequency transmits while the other frequency listens. This
would be for PTMP between the tower and CPE units.
Thanks,
Sam
