| Re: What's better? Higher Radio Output or Antenna This thread is priceless ...
Yahkin just remember that antenna gain adds to both end of the link.
16 dBm + 11 dBi = 27 dB EIRP
10 dBm + 17 dBi = 27 dB EIRP
The second system talks as loudly as the first but it HEARS twice as good (by range) and four times as good (by power).
That presumes the receive sensitivities are identical.
And as SuperDawg mentioned, a narrower pattern on the CPE is less sensitivite to interference ... but it is a bit harder to point.
