[MLB-WIRELESS] Microtik 200mW Wireless cards for $125USD

[evilbunny]

Hello Andrew,

AD> These cards are expensive compared to the enterasys cards but they
AD> are also alot more powerfull, could make for good use with an omni
AD> for an AP?    

This may not be quite true, if the card's RX is poor then the
additional TX isn't of much use, as it will send much further
(reducing reuse) while being able to "hear" much shorter distances...

Using higher gain antenna with lower output card on the client side of
things is a much more efficient way to use the spectrum... For example
of this see Tony Langdon's post on the 20th of June, about the
benefits in using less output with higher gain antenna... higher
output could effectively limit your useable signal...

Even a 15dBm card with an 8dBi omni is capable of usable signal at
20km or further, by using a high gain antenna at the client end, such
as a 24dBi galaxy... even just using a cantenna the range is capable
of being 10km or further... and 2 24dBi dishes have the ability to do
100km on a 15dBm cards...
