I've got a water tower which will feed a back haul for 2 AP sites. LOS is good. these stations are about 40 degrees apart. station 1 is 3.6 miles and station 2 is 2.9 miles (station 1 & 2 cannot see each other due to terrain)

I may be adding another station/AP that is between these and 6.7 miles, again with good LOS to water tower but not to the other stations.

I'm thinking about a Rocket5M with a Sector but what do I put on the other ends? I have not considered the dish 'cause I don't think I need that much horsepower (I could be wrong as I've never had too much horsepower or too much fun). And I'd rather use a integrated units.

A dish on the water tower would have too narrow of a beamwidth to hit more than on remote point, so you'll need three Rockets and dish antennas. You could use Rockets at the remote stations.

If you can live with a 24 Mbps end-point speed, you could use three separate Bullet 5 links with 28 dBi grids. For three links, that would be six each Bullet 5 and four each 24 dBi grids and two each 28 dBi grids.

Why not use a 4 bullets, or 2 bullets and one rocket?

one bullet on 1st point, one bullet on 2nd point, and aditional 2 bullets, or one rocket in the middle, with grid anntenas

And you've got 100Mbit link

Shall I take it there are no integrated units from ubnt which will link up with a Rocket5M.

I'm pretty sure I could do it with a NS5 as the access point and Bull5hp with 19 dbi grids on each of the two (or hopefully 3) other sites...

But I'd like to use the Rocket5M with a 90 degree sector along with ??? on each station location.

I think I saw the rocket sector antenna in chicago and they really got my interest, and here is a chance to use one...
