RB433ah - 3xminipci cards (2x5ghz, 1x2.4ghz) - possible?

I have next task to make:
1x 3km link @5ghz-turbo (PtP) ~15-25mbps 5760mhz
1x 6km link @5ghz-turbo (PtP) ~15 mbps 5210mhz
1x omni @2.4ghz - Point-to-multipoint.. 2420mhz~

Have someone used in this configuration?
2.4ghz card will place between 5ghz-turbo links.
so like this:
1 slot - R5h
2 slot - compex 100mw 2.4ghz (or r52)
3 slot - R5h

Will these configuration work together without problems with CCQ loss etc?
Need advice..

Vladimir

it depends on number of users and the average registration signal.
You could have a lot of interference and low ccq.
if you plan to have many users use ever one radio in one metallic box.

InoX, me too! I think rodolfo uses bad components..

thanks for replies !
for links planned R5H and R52h@2.4ghz ~7-10users on it.

I just have saw a post with interference... do not want to mount more boxes with 1xminipci slots to make givven task

this looks similar to what i am planning. 2km link to 6 stations from three 120degree hyperlink sector antenna on three r52 minipci, that is two clients on a card. ofcourse the board is rb433ah. this is the base. any comments please?

I've got a 433 with 3 R52H running 3 2.4GHz sectors. Self interference is an issue, though not terrible at 2.4GHz.

I've got an RB600 with 4 R52H, 2 PTP 5GHz, 1 5GHz AP (kind of a backup) 1 2.4GHz AP (backup). The 2.4 vs 5GHz works fine without fail, never had a problem. The two 5GHz shots work great if I have good signal. Situation changed a bit, my signal is in the mid -70's or worse, rock solid at 18mb, but anything higher is worse. If I disable one of the PTP links, I can get 24 or 36mb with high CCQ. If I send to the first AP, it works fine. If I send through to the second AP, both suffer.

At 18mb, it works, but I also have large channel separation. I will have to change this later for sufficient bandwidth, but for now it works.

Another box I have some R52H's and an XR5. The R52H's see each other with a -20s signal. The XR5 sees those broadcasts in the -40s to -50s and doesn't have as much trouble. I don't know if that is due to the lack of a diversity switch or if it is because of the MMCX connector and better pigtail.
