Hi Guys
can any body give suggestion on the best mikrotik units to use for this kind of link. There is clear line of site. There is a PTP canopy doing that distance. Looking at pushing 10 Meg ob the backhaul
gmidia

RB433+XR5+5ghz wide-band 2foot parabolic dish on each side will give you approx. 30mbps of HDX, TCP throughput on a 20mhz wide channel. I suggest a wide-band 5ghz dish so that if you get the custom frequency license you'll be able to run on any channel in the 5ghz band (in case you run into interference or want to run a 40mhz/turbo channel for additional throughput).

would a grid antenna of 27 dbi work in place of the antennas, and if using the parabolic dishes what would be the gain of the antennas?

by the way why do you say XR5 and not R5H? after i have heard comments of good performance on the R5H

May be you can look the specs of XR5 and that respond your question.

specs and real time performance is different. Guess this forum is all about experiences using the various products with Mikrotik OS.

I have tried many modules and XR2, XR5 are the best performance modules in almost any condition in realtime.

I guess you have not compared them to R5H yet ... It has better receive sensitivity which gives it the better results in the end

You should definitely try the R2H, best buck/performance.
