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. Matt From: "Larry A.

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. ________________________________ Larry A.

Three antennas for full coverage in 2.4 and 5g. Point to multipoint on both bands.

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.
