Bullet vs. Nano - 20dB vs 26dB

[Patagoche]

I'm just needing a clarification about this. When setting nano's power i can turn it up to 26 dB. Bullet only can be turned up to 20 dB. Has nano more power than the bullet or is it that the power setting in nanostation also takes into account it's antenna gain to calculate total power?

Hello,

Yes Bullet has less power then a Nano, witch has less power then a PowerStation, hence the cheaper pricing.

Thanks,

So for 5.8 Ghz its recomendable buy a bullet5hp? in this frecuency atenuation is bigger and wave is shorter need more power to compensate

another thing.. i want to make a sectorial arrange but power station doesnt come with N conector thas why i have chosen a bullet, make a conversion from rpsma from powerstation to N conector of 90 degres pannel dont go trough with me

any sugestion?

Hello,

Bullet5 works fine, and Bullet 5HP we do not have a timeframe for release.

I would use Bullet 5 with sector antennas and you will be fine.

Thanks,

Mike

Not quite...

Given the same physical size of antenna, there is no difference between 2.4 and 5.8 Gig propagation distance.

The Bullet 5 HP will get almost twice the range when used with an omni antenna at 48 to 54 Mbps data speeds, at lower speeds there is only a slight increase in range over the non-HP version.

With a high gain directional antenna, the HP will have a only a very, very small improvement in range.

Wellll that's nice. :(

After hearing that Bullet5HP was also scheduled for release end of January, I put down my cash at a distributor to pre-order one. I guess now I have to go beg for my money back. :x

Rated Information from Data Sheets PDF file
Actual TX TPO power may be reduced for FCC limit.
For example, the Bullet 5 HP has 30 dBm TPO, but FCC allows only 24 dBm TPO with omni antenna.

OK, let's say I have an antenna with just a bulkhead style female N-connector (not the style with a coax pigtail with female N on the end).

So in this case, no actual "cable loss" to factor in.

Is there a loss to factor in for the single "N-type" connection to the N-male Bullet? (like 1 dB or something?)

[WHT]

Considering the loss of a Type N at 10 GHz is only .15 dB, I'd say the loss at 5 Gig is half...not anywhere near one dB.
