Aironet 1500 series point to point connection

[arditvallja]

Hello, I have a question for cisco Aironet 1500 series. I want to connect two of them as point to point in a distance about 6 km (kilometers). So there are two questions, can them be connected as point to point to transmit signal and the second one what is the max distance of AP to be connected.

Kind regards,

Ardit

Yea so many factors .. On the end of the day do the math. I shot a 1532 a little over a mile with ease. My buddy works at a mine and they shot a 1532 31 miles !!! It was in South America and yes in sure they broke some local regulations in the process I believe ..

There are a lot of factors when it comes to an outdoor bridge connection. What kind of traffic is going to pass over that link? How much bandwidth do you need? Is there an free line of sight and can you place the (high gain) external antennas somewhere high or maybe even in an tower? And what about the factors you can't influence like the weather?

I personally don't have experience with this kind of high distances, but if you are going to do an test I would advise to go for the 1570 bridges and select an high gain antenna. A good starting-point for outdoor point-to-point connections is Cisco's WNG Coverage Capacity Calculator. You can also use tis tool to calcuate your Effective Isotropic Radiated Power, which should not exceed the rules dictated by your regulatory domain.
