Range Calculations: A range estimation worksheet is provided for estimating ranges for different antenna gains and usage conditions. Online RF link budget calculators exist. e.g.: https://www.pasternack.com/t-calculator-link-budget.aspx

E01. Superpass Mobility Antennas Backhaul 5.8GHz.
-- All 5.8 Antennas should be FULL RANGE (5.1G - 5.8G). See SPDJ8O or SPDJ60P
-- Range Estimation Sheets: 8 Db Range Estimate (54 Mbps) and 8 Db Range Estimate (24 Mbps)

E02. Superpass Static Node Backhaul 5.8 GHz.
-- High gain sectored antennas provide more range: 16 Db Range Estimate 54 Mbps
-- SuperPass sectored and panel antennas are listed here. See also SPPJ19, SPDN8W , SPDN8E, SPDN8S
-- See Layout Design Suggestions for Antennas types in some typical installations: MD4000 Layout Design.

E03. Superpass 2.4GHz Client Access Antennas.
-- If your model configuration uses a 2.4G backhaul, the SuperPass SPDG16O is suggested.
-- Note: Antennas for 11b/g service should be based on down tilt and beam width explained in installations Manual.
