@AKI i think you just complicating things for Mutua He is simply requesting we recommend an AP that can Cover 1.5 km ? I THINK we are confusing Mutua here he has already spend on MikroTik which is almost 100k and something for managing his hotspot so another option is simply wasting resources he has already spend ON our CCK does not care about frequency 2.4GHz Do you have a recommendation for an AP + Antenna that can help him cover that distance ?

Eric, one key factor to consider is attenuation. And rain fade is part of this.
If you are right that there are 5000 Access Points in CBD ( assuming they are all indoor units and are compliant with indoor power levels thus do not have the capacity to affect others ) thats different. ODU APs cannot be legal without specific channel allocation or range restrictions by CCK . If CCK is not following laid down guidelines so as to protect any abuse in the market. Then why should Network Operators/ISPs be subject to licensing and pay heavy fees for frequencies or equipment while anyone can deploy an ODU? Clearly, has CCK failed but am I'm sure there is procedure on this. What a mess our regulator is going to leave us in? At one time DOD was on ISM so no one could use it, now anyone can deploy high power ODUs without any compliance?
In short if you are a network planner or designer, you want to go with long term solutions. I'd still partner with any ISP/Network operator if I was doing a commercial project because domestic solutions will come back to bite. That's the best advice I can offer. :-)

WiFi signals is not affected by rain but mostly by microwave toys remote controls or surface that reflect the signal
otherwise poorest latency i got was 9ms when the antenna was moved by strong wind
a place like town where there is more than 5000 APs running on om same channels and frequency i expect you get interference otherwise i noted most people use the default channel 6 so u can use a different one for better performance
my point is u can do 1.5 km with Wifi u don't need Wimax
