Chad Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 We recently completed a four month long shootout between various radio and antenna vendors: http://www.auwireless.net/blog/2016/1/2/testing-testing-and-more-testing Antennas used included the TwistPort, Ubiquiti AC sectors, Cambium sectors and RFE carrier sectors. The results showed the best performance (in our real world environment) to be the RFE carrier sectors. While we loved the TwistPort size, price and vertical beam size, the performance was just not there in the lower 5.1 / 5.2 channels we need to use. The performance of the carrier sector is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasos Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Great info Chad. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faisal Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Related question.... The Sector are also only rated for 5.4 to 5.8 frequency range....based on the findings from Chad... would it be fair to assume that the sectors performance in 5.1 is less degraded than the simperial horns ?

Faisal, We have a few sectors for 5Gig in the Carrier Class line. Our 17db version is designed to work from 5.1 to 5.9GHz. That is the version Chad is using. Our 20db version and our 3x3 Carrier Class Sectors operate from 5.4 to 5.9GHz. Don't let the "lower gain" rating of our 17db version turn you off. It has excellent signal performance due to its built in shielding and balanced H & V beams. Killer performance for its size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faisal Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Tasos, What is the model # of the 5Gig Carrier Class Sector ? IS SEC-CC-5-17 ? 'cause the specs on the website and tech info only mention 5.4-5.8 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Faisal, that is the model I own and am getting really good performance at 5.1 and 5.2 The stats on the tech info only mention 5.4-5.8 but the graph shows actually an increase in performance around 5.2 I can tell you for direct experience (I own 2 of those now) that they work awesome at lower UNI. I just installed a Force110 customer at 5 miles that is getting 90 Mbps from that RFE antenna on a 20 Mhz channel at 5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing out the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WICOMTR Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Horn Product's performance very good . + Stable Signal Strenge + Additional RF Noise Floor + Best Solution forTower -- - Add additional gain :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
