PTP 650 connects from Pike's Peak to Cheyenne, Wyoming in a single hop. Check out Bruce Collins' blog post and video HERE. Share your questions or comments on the record setting link on this thread.
Do you have a long PTP link, or one that is remarkable? Share your stories HERE.
We were using 3 ft. standard performance dishes from tire-mount masts at 5.8 GHz. Ran the link at 5, 30 and 45 MHz channels and had receive signals of approximately -76 dBm even while battling some pretty heavy winds. We were running a high-def video link and a VoIP server over the channel. Consistently stayed above 30 Mbps which is what we had designed the link for. The link was established with both PTP 650 and PTP 700.
The link came up fast and we were testing out the applications after less than an hour on site. Pretty awesome scenery too.
Anyone who can help me to know where I can download the video of the new record at 245km link? Might help this video to me in presentations of our product. Thank you in advance guys :)
The predicted availability (99.96%) was plenty good enough for our distance record attempt. However, if you have a long-term requirement for a link at about 200 km, it makes sense to use larger antennas, and perhaps space diversity, to increase predicted availability to meet the business needs.
