Most of the amps at hyperlinktech.com are bidirectional, meaning they will improve the Tx power, as well the Rx sensitivity of your APs. (Rx Sensitivity is one if not the most important factors for success on your APs.) We have found the best combination is to copy Tropos - use a 1W (bidirectional) amp with a 6-8dB omni on the APs (depending on losses) to achieve 36EIRP. They actually use 2 amps and 2 radios to achieve diversity, which helps the Rx sensitivity even more, but that runs up the bill of materials pretty fast. hope this helps, ty Tyler van Houwelingen Founder and CEO Azulstar Networks, Inc. 1051 Jackson, Grand Haven, MI 49417 1117 Rio Rancho Blvd 13, Rio Rancho, NM 87124 1-877-AZULSTAR www.azulstar.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "gary" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "SeattleWireless Talk List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 12:59 PM Subject: Re: Wireless Boosters? > I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but large amounts of > asymmetry in a two-way communications system isn't very useful.
