I don't know if there is data on loss due to a forest of banana trees :-/. 600 m is 10 km / 16, so your required power should be 1/250 of that for 10 km. That's 24 dB you could afford to lose. | |
| Aug 18, 2012 at 13:21 | comment | added | Anubis | I have this last (hopefully) question, before going for a decisions. If i can achieve 10km using a high gain antenna in LoS, then will I be able to achieve the required 600m without LoS? (under same configuration) | |
| Aug 18, 2012 at 13:13 | comment | added | Anubis | I found it on some other forum (I'm searching everywhere..). Well, I thought that makes sense, but now I feel I (too) got fooled. 10km is via a high gain antenna. 3km from 50mW right? (Hope be that is achievable...???) | |
| Aug 18, 2012 at 13:01 | comment | added | stevenvh | @Anubis - The FGR-115 mentioned in another answer claims a 100 km range at 1 W output (granted, that's LoS). Due to the inverse-square law this would be 10 km LoS with just 10 mW, or 3 km at just. I think that person should show evidence for his claims. | |

| Aug 18, 2012 at 12:35 | comment | added | Anubis | << 50 mW (17 dBm)??? HAHAHHA....That's a freakin' toy radio. You be lucky to get it to talk back to an AP more than a few hundred feet with a clear line of sight >> This is someones comment about this module. Really, how can we expect such a range (up to 10km !!) from this little o/p power?? | |
