Re: Backhaul on Motorola Canopy 5.8 GHz

I haven't used the Motrola Canopy equipment, but I've heard good things about it.
?
There are members on the group who have used unlicensed 900 MHz /?5.8 GHz IP data linking
solutions from AvaLAN Wireless. I believe their data rates are around 1 Megabit/sec.
You can find more information at:

Looking at AvaLAN's?web site it appears you could put up a link with two 5.8 GHz data radios & antennas for around $2,000.

Subject: [D-STAR_23cm] Backhaul on Motorola Canopy 5.8 GHz
?
I am looking for information from users that my have attempted to utilize the Motorola Canopy equipment as a back-haul to provide WAN access at a remote site. We are preparing to install our second D*STAR Cluster including DD on a 2000' tower that is some 30 miles away from our current tower.
Paths calculate out to be within acceptable range, we are also utilizing the largest parabolic dishes commercially available for Canopy equipment. Frequencies will be on the 5.8 GHz since regional partners would not approve our request to utilize 4.9 GHz licensed service. What I am curious about is if anyone has attempted to test this type of setup for your location. We are utilizing grant funds for the purchase of equipment so we have backing from our Emergency Management Agencies.
The system was designed by several members but, path information was calculated using Radio Mobile Deluxe and confirmed with calculations by a retired AT&T Microwave
Systems Technician.
Thanks for your assistance.
