This afternoon I ran a benchmark test from my Fallbrook home to the top of Mt. Palomar. The following configuration resulted in a LQ of 100% with a 20 dB SNR. The path is 34.5 km (21.4 miles).
My FJ Cruiser (on Mt. Palomar):
NanoBridge M2 (23 dBm, 18 dBi self-contained antenna)
-94 Rec sensitivity spec
My backyard (Fallbrook):
Bullet M2 (28 dBm, 25 dBi BBQ grill antenna)
-83 Rec sensitivity spec
The SNR likely could have been improved upon, as I has holding the NanoBridge dish and pointing it based on my wife reading Link Quality numbers. Unfortunately I didn't have a Telnet or Putty client on my dash-mounted PC, so I couldn't use the "Aimer" program.
Conclusion: I was impressed with the NanoBridge M2. It's sturdy, super sensitive, and appears easy to tower/pole mount. I've been wanting to validate this path for some time... but have not been able to do so until I used UBNT gear on both ends. Andre, K6AH |
