Tom Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hi Andrea, we need the SNR requirements for EVERY channel width and MCS rate the radio supports. We did not find this data on UBNT webpage, nor in the datasheets of their CPEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenetic Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Tom said: Hello, see the screenshot for the correct calculator setup for the link you talk about. UltraHorn would get you to MCS 7 at best given the distance. In this case we'd recommend UltraDish 550 for both sides of the link. In this case you can go up to MCS 9. Thank you for your time and response, Tom. I'll compare the 34dBi slant dishes with the RFE dishes. I have another couple of links that are shorter and would probably suit the Ultrahorn better. Still keen to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you can find .ant files for antenna pattern. https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/204952114-airMAX-Antenna-Data Great response!! Given the direction Ubiquiti are taking with UNMS, UCRM, UPG etc, plus the equipment being released, I'm really excited to see Ubiquiti sharing data about antennas. Ubiquiti antennas have served Frenetic well. If another manufacturer produces an antenna that helps sell more Ubiquiti 'active' product....embrace them!!

Bit naughty, Tom, Not finding the information on a webpage or a datasheet isn't quite the same as another manufacturer not cooperating with RFE. 😆 Hope you can ultimately collaborate. Frenetic deliver to digitally deprived subscribers. It's hard going but rewarding...not in the obvious financial sense. Having quality manufacturers delivering better outcomes together is a win, win, win so far as I am concerned. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well, in that case....shame on them. 😆 Truly, I understand the competitive case. When it doesn't work, the loser is the customer (Frenetic) and the end user (Frenetic's subscribers). Hopefully both companies will benefit from some collaboration. Meanwhile...I'll keep asking questions. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelwireless Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I would like to be able to save the coverage as a plain image w/o any markings. ie, so I can overlay the estimated coverage on a map easily. The PDF export actually removes the heatmap which is what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we'd need though are the sensitivity data to each of the CPE radios. Some, like AF5X or LUT rocket have those in the datasheets but other than that, they do not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 There would be a need for MCS11 (1024-QAM) and above provided by AX. I would like to plan a horn with a future reserve. Or tell me what to add or subtract to the existing MCS9 and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will add the Generic 802.11ax CPE device with the upcoming update as well (including any ax devices to which we get the needed data), so hang on there In the mean time, to be able to plan AX coverage you need to do the math by hand. For that you'd need detailed data of your devices - it's noise floor and SNR requirement for MCS 11. From the signal strength and SNR you get with your devices you can see if you can achieve MCS 11..

And Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 What about EIRP? Perhaps this calculator could be made fairer and help to calculate it instead of the user, ie the calculation changes dBm instead of EIRP. And how far does it make sense to have horns with a different gain if the whole end is leveled at the transmitter's TX power to comply with EIRP? In this sense, I can take any, 5 gain, 15 gain, everything in the end will be equal to for example 30-36 EIRP (possible MCS has any requirements) 30 = Gain-TXpower.

ajm Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 It looks like the base for the topography and satellite imagery is Google Earth based and I've noticed you can IMPORT clients via .kmz files. Would you be able to give us an EXPORT to .kmz button? Even if it were just the heatmap produced, we could overlay onto our GE maps and it would greatly help with deployment as well as serviceability.

JohnH Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Nice feature would be the ability to put multiple AP's on the same location. That way we can simulate the best layout of horns for a location without having to run each AP separately. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmcdon Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Something seems off in this calculation. I sent the .kmz file, in the zip. I found it weird that I set the tower location and then imported the .kmz file for the CPEs and it moved the AP location to the middle of the CPEs. That might be ok if you could do multiple sectors, but I don't see how I can do that. rfe-calc-ptmp-20220821043854.pdf RFElements FK-SBA NorthEast RAR.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
