CISCO AIRONET 1532E with antenna 13dbi

[ntouzet31]

Hello,

I want to install a wireless bridge between 2 buildings. I think i want to choice Aironet 1532E with antenna 2.4 Ghz 13-dBi (AIR-ANT2413P2M-N). And i would like to know what is the maximum range between my two points ?

Thanks You.

Can I ask a different question.  How far apart are the two buildings, and what data rate do you need?

I prefer working on the problem being solved as opposed to finding the question for the answer given.

Hello,

It's a mobile project, for the first step the 2 buildings are close (1km) but for next project it's possible there are 15km between 2 buildings.

I want to have 10Mbps for the bandwith.

Thanks You

Check out this tool:

Go to the "Coverage" tab.

I tested this tool but I haven't had the same results as compared to other tools. Is this tool is reliable?

This tool is to give you an idea about what is possible, but can't account for (all) factors specific for your deployment. The only real reliable thing is to perform a site survey and just test with the proposed equipment. Keep in mind the FCC/ETSI regulations and think about lightning resistors if the equipment is mounted somewhere high on the buildings.

Please rate useful posts... :-)
