| Speed test results on NanoBridge PTP Forgive me for all my posts, but I am just soaking up as much as I can here.
For my PTP link, I currently have a NanoBridgeM5 installed.
I have a 50/5 cable connection currently behind it, but will soon be upgrading to a 100/100 fiber circuit. I am going to order a RocketM5 to replace this hardware, but in the mean time I was curious what these test results mean.
Running the tests from the Station side to the AP, in three different modes, I get:
(Ran 4 tests to get an average)
Duplex:
RX: 22.35 Mbps
TX: 18.77 Mbps
Total: 41.12 Mbps
RX: 19.04 Mbps
TX: 6.73 Mbps
Total: 25.77 Mbps
RX: 21.96 Mbps
TX: 17.90 Mbps
Total: 39.86 Mbps
RX: 19.69 Mbps
TX: 17.84 Mbps
Total: 37.53 Mbps
Receive:
RX: 36.82 Mbps
TX: 0.00 Mbps

I know the speedtests on these units are not true numbers, but at least they give me an idea of each direction. So what one matters? duplex? receive?
Is there a reason for the fluctuation in each of them?
Can I make it better with the NanoBridge? Or just replace it with a RocketM5, and then diagnose the speeds?
Are my power levels good?
How does the noise floor look?
The link is about 5.5 miles. It does have line of sight, I am not positive on any trees hitting the Fresnel zone, there, it is mostly clear but there is one tree that could possibly be in the Fresnel perhaps?
If I had to guess, the tree is .25 miles from the AP, and 20-30ft below a direct line of sight line.
Bottom line I am looking to maximize the speed in this link. If that be done with this hardware I would like to do so, if I need something different that is fine.
If I do go with a rocket, what type of speeds could I possibly get on a link at 5.5 miles? Could I get close to the 90mbps/100mbps mark? |
