chevrolux: 13km shouldnt be much stress provided good line of sight is there.


Line of sight does not mean much at all, The Azimuth could be pointing down towards the ground so the end user could end up working right on the edge of the cell coverage


Yea fair point. Alignment is just as important as line of sight. I would of thought 13km would be a fairly avergae distance for a WISP to be serving clients at though dont you reckon?

For the average Woosh customer? Certainly not. It would be within a few km.

Distance is a big thing as RF charactersitics vary depending on the technology and frequency used. This issue could simple be Woosh's poor performance or it could be a PHY layer issue such as high BER.
