Packets DownRange
Rain can have a major impact on wireless microwave links, especially as frequencies increase. Learn how rain fade affects 24 GHz, 60 GHz, and 80 GHz circuits, and why fade margin is critical for reliable network design.
Wireless signal fade happens when the radio signal drops in strength or quality. Distance, weather, interference, and physical obstructions all play a role. Even small changes matter. Water absorbs RF energy. Heat bends signals. Trees grow. The result is lower signal-to-noise ratio, higher error rates, and retries that pile up fast
For those of you who may not have seen the Mikrotik 60ghz dishes. Here are some screenshots.
Farm progress show 2019. Mikrotik 60 ghz backhauling between WiFi nodes. Wireless wire cluster for high Bandwidth customers. 5ghz for smaller bandwidth customers.
The never-ending goal of any Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) is how to get ever-increasing levels of bandwidth to clients. The always increasing demands, by customers, on WISPs, and ISPs, in general, are becoming an everyday problem for many operators. Building a business model on unlicensed spectrum can be a shaky foundation. Interference and changing … Read more
