I have 2 towers with Canopy 100 Omni APs in 2.4 GhZ that are fairly loaded and I need to sectorize them. The issue I have is that one of them is a free standing Rohn 40ft with the AP mounted to the mast, the other is the same thing with a 56 ft tower. I recently did a site from an omni to 3 120 degree sectors in 2.4, but the tower was a 180 foot tower and I had all the room in the world for vertical separation, we went about 10 foot between sectors starting from the top, everything looks and works great.
I wouldn't mind doing a 4 sector system here using channels 1 & 11, my concern is finding an antenna that could possibly go back to back for the same channel, as well as not causing interference to the other set of 2 radios doing the other channel. I really don't have a lot of physical separation to work with, hoping that maybe 4 or 5 foot of vertical would work. I have not done much conversion sectorizing before, its just been a standard nowadays with doing Ubiquiti equipment on newer installations. The radios I use are the simple Canopy APs with the N connector pigtail, all vertical polarization. Ideally I need to upgrade the 2 towers to a whole different platform, but breaking these towers down to sharing between 3 or 4 APs would be a vast improvement. Thanks Heith
