Tests and comparisons
The purpose of this test was to check the throughput on the links obtained at 5GHz radio on short and long distances, such as between the existing blocks of flats or office buildings, and the links on the a few kilometer distance.
We will use 3 antennas: directional PANEL 19dBi, sectoral: SECTOR 17dBi and omnidirectional HORIZON 12dBi.
Device choosen: CA8-4
Fast at close distance
