Mikrotiks rock, use n-streme for this long distances and you will be amazed with their latency and data rates.Anybody try the R52n by the way On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Thuo Wilson <lixton@gmail.com> wrote:
With Mikrotik, i think i have done 5KM with 2-10ms latency on CLOS - its still running for an year now. That means if you just require bridging and not necessarily wifi (/limit) you can take that. The distance between KAWANGWARE and UTHIRU is how many km?

Mikrotik only sell 5ghz panels, i.e no omni, no 2.4ghz but with the correct
mix and match of equipment I believe you can achieve 8km on CLOS.

Actually, Mikrotiks are what came to mind first having dealt with them in
my previous job, but their website is scarce with info. Emily I will get back to you once I have the go ahead.
@Denis I was trying to remember winlink. I have dealt with it and is a pretty good product.
Thanks all for the suggestions.

I know Mikrotiks do a great job at that. Am actually surprised that they did not much up to your expectations.

If the grass looks greener on the other side, most probably the water bill is higher too
