need more range wireless
I am looking to get more range via wireless. Looking at 900mhz instead of 2.4ghz. What would be the most powerful way to go? What kind of setup would I need.

More range
Why not 5 GHz?
Are you looking to create point to point connections?
Or more local range?
Sectors and Dishes should give you the best results.

Hi, J.D.

Point-to-point or what?
Is the medium between points air (line of sight) or moisture (forest)?
2.4 GHz and has only 1 clear channel and it is maximum 10 MHz width. :-(
900 MHz (if you can find gear) has room for 1x20 MHz and 1x10 MHz width channel. :-|
5 GHz has the most channels and widest bandwidth for AREDN nodes.
The gain of a dish reflector increases with frequency, so a same size dish
has more gain at 5.8 GHz, than 2.4 or 0.9.
+1 with Matthew...dishes are highest gain, panels are okay for PtP links too.
Sector antennas are usually used for downlinks to users.
Share longitude and latitude and antenna elevation of each end and I will
make a recommendation.

73, Chuck
