Cambium Force 4600C + NetPoint NP6: PTP Link Performance (32 km)

Pairing the Force 4600C with a 32 dBi NetPoint NP6-DP-3FT antenna results in a highly stable, long-distance PTP link. Even at over 30 km, it maintains strong modulation and low latency. This performance depends on precise alignment, proper spectrum planning, and the high front-to-back isolation and narrow beamwidth provided by the NetPoint NP6 antenna. It’s a solid setup for high-throughput rural or long-range backbone deployments.
