Omni with Bullet M2 HP customer limit.

[webarefootin]

I just got into supplying bandwidth to a 7 year old wisp running alverion equipment. I have another brand of backbone radios, am running pppoe on my core router with eoip tunnels. The old clients have a hard time of getting more than 1200k up or down. I can connect to my ap radio on the main tower granted I am the only one and pull a consistant 3-4 meg up and down. Looking at replacing all ap/customer units. 3 ap locations in 3 towns. between 20 and 40 users per ap. Will 1 M2 HP handle this load with airmax or should I tell the owner it is time to reinvest and bite another 800 bucks per location? Thanks

I'm missing something. Are the clients connecting to the Bullet M or do you have something in the middle? If they are connecting, are you planning on replacing all the client radios?

We would do a full replacement of all radios as the Alvarion units seem to be a big bottleneck for the system. Bullet M's used for AP's and all client radios if they will support the client load.

Hello,

If you have AirMax on, and you take note of proper installations signals and fade margins, then you can reach in upwards of 100 user's. However you must have the bandwidth to support this.

Thanks,

Will you guys be marketing any omni antennas for your airmax line? I plan on running all airmax equipment if I go this way. What is your expected time line for your release of your 2.4 antennas?

What would be truly cool would be a dual-polarity omni that worked with the rockets. Actually I'm kidding. However, what would be neat would be Nema box assemby that contained the Rocket and power supply and had dual N antennas on top to support a 2x2 vertical Nema.

How far apart do the antennas have to be to make that work? Numbers that I have seen is about 50ns delay but I'm heading to bed so I'll figure it out in the morning. That would also solve the FCC problem with higher gain vertical antennas. Now it's a custom install :).

That would also solve the FCC problem with higher gain vertical antennas. Now it's a custom install :).Or more specifically, use the 6 dBi omni antennas to keep within the FCC certification limit, but overcome the lack of gain compared to a higher gain antenna - use "N" to compensate.

Can't count on everyone to be on N.
