does force 180 supports 8 kms

I am trying for a link which is not happening.

Can you suggest, if Force 180 supports range of 8 Kms with appropriate height.

Hi,

It may even work, but I do not recommend it, I have one at 5.8 km and troughput and mcs are no longer as stable. You can use linkplanner to get an idea of ​​the performance at this distance.

At 8KM, I'd use a much larger antenna than that.  Ideally, you want the signals around -60 if you can get that, and a Force180 won't do that at 8 KM.  Cambium has 16 dB dishes (Force200) and they have the ePMP1000 units which we pair to a 25 dBi Grid - those will get the signals up to -60 where you want it to be.

I would not recommand a 6Km (+) link with a force 180 .
I would go with a force 200
