Wireless Bridge Calculation Utility for new Outdoor APs

R M C · ‎03-10-2021

Hi All

Does anybody know if there is a replacement for the once wonderful Wireless Bridge Calculation Utility? I am proposing a short wireless bridge link, no more than 40m, and need an understanding of the expected data rates. I can't seem to find a replacement for the utility or any information regarding range and data rates in any of the data sheets. The outdoor APs I'm considering are either the 1562D or 1542D.

Is channel bonding and point to point links an issue? Channel bonding wasn't an option when I last setup a wireless bridge link....

I seem to remember this can be modelled on Prime Infra though can't remember whether this gave expected data rates.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated and if I've missed something obvious in a data sheet somewhere, I do apologise.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Marce

Thanks for your reply. I have that calculation utility, unfortunately it is also very old, from 2006, and doesn't allow for any of the newer model outdoor APs.
