>> Hi guys,
>> 
>> Here in Quintana (Argentina) we are planning a 40Km link to connect three

>> City.
>> Our longest link so far is 16Km and it works very well (40Mbps) using
>> AirGrid M5 27dbi.
>> 
>> For this occasion we are planning to use Ubiquiti Rocket M5 + 34dbi dishes.
>> There is clear LOS between both ends; link calculation seems fine but I'd
>> like to ask about your experience with this kind of long shot high
>> performance links.
>> 
>> Any recommendations based on real-world deployments?
>> Are you using these Rocket routers for long links?
>> 
>> 
>> Cheers,
>> Nico
