This product is ideal for Non-Line of Sight (nLOS) applications.
It uses signals in the 900 MHz band that have much better penetration than 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi. |

These figures assume:
A point to note: The Fresnel Zone is quite large at this frequency. For best performance, keep the units well above ground.
We did a real-world test of this PtP equipment. It was a less-than-ideal test as the antennas were only about 1.5m off the ground and hence a large part of the signal was trying to go through the earth. If the antennas had been mounted higher, the results would have been better.
While 900 MHz has better penetration in most cases than the WiFi frequencies of 2.4 and 5 GHz ... that does not mean it will work in all situations.
For example - metal is a 100% reflector at this frequency so it will not pass through metal. And 900MHz works best when one or both antennas are well above the ground.
Each 16 dBi MIMO Yagi antenna comes with a free pole-mount. The standard pole mount kit allows azimuth adjustment, but not elevation. Other mounting options are listed below.
And the Yagi antenna includes a special built-in bracket for the RocketM900 to clip into.
