CPE throughput - distance from AP

Hi all,
this is my first post.
I just installed an Ap Omnitik in my village , and I have been testing the CPE SXT-5hnd at difference distances.
Am getting acquainted with RouterOS , and its interface.

My provider sells me 10Mb symmetric link and I am wondering how to test the throughput AP-CPE at different distances.
And what are as well the parameters that can help me to understand if a CPE is too distant to get , say 7 MB or 10Mb

Example.
10MB bandwidth

distance AP-CPE
1 km - 28MB with -58dbm
5km -7MB with -70dmb
and so on...

is there a way or tool to calculate all that?

thank you

I see.
then,if you had a valley 6kmx6km , with 1Ap omnitik on one edge, how would you trasmit on the other side?
Omnitik goes 4-5 km far.
I am trying to test that.

I don't think you will be able to use omitik at that distances (reliable). Maybe 1-2km...
