Wind Loading of IW9165D

[russell.sage]

I am planning to deploy Cisco IW9165D CURWB units. One end of the link is to be mounted on a pole. I am being asked for the Wind Loading number. If add a horn antenna the datasheet provides this figure. But I don't see it in the datasheet for the IW9165D. Anyone comes across this issue and know the value

Hi but that doesn't tell me the loading. If I look at the datasheet of the  IW-ANT-H90-510-N is specifically states the Wind Loading

Yet this number isn't provide for the IW9165D - I am not erecting the mast that the IW9165D is going to be attached to a 3rd Party is and they are asking for this number.

That is interesting that they ask that.  Usually depending on the area and where they can mount the unit/ap's, its the mount/pole that has to be able to handle very high winds.

What I find more interesting is that the Horn Antenna specifies the wind loading 25N @ wind speed of 100mph. Yet the IW9165D which can also be pole mounted and has integral directional antenna in it doesn't. I am guessing the people mounting the pole want to know how much force to expect so they brace the pole accordingly.

They should have some sort of calculation for that.  Any mounting solution will have its own specifications, antenna are a bit more flexible, a rugged bridge can fall and probably still function.  nothing internal will break and that is probably why you see what you see.
