Hi Guys,
I just want to know if the TPLINK CPE510 5G AP is only accessible wirelessly by "line of sight" only or can its 15KM+ range as shown by specs be transmitted/function normally if it is not placed/mounted on an elavated area regardless of terrain, buildings and trees, etc???
I hope this question is clearly enough?
Thanks in advance.💯👍

I have just one other question. I am just enquiring here really, if there are any omni-directional antennas on the market from TP Link (360 degrees) that has a more greater range than 100metres?
It would not help to have such an antenna.
Why? Because client devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops) need to send back data to the AP, too. As long as the antennas of those client devices can't cover more than 100m, it makes not much sense to have the AP cover more than 100m.
It would be the same as trying to send light signals from a ship to a lighthouse using a torch. While the lighthouse's signal can be seen at large distances, the ship's torch can't be seen at the lighthouse unless the ship is near enough – and there is no fog. :-)

@Daniel_Siune101, is the distance between the Internet router and the residences / labs etc. greater than 100m?
If so, you can use CPE510 for the backhaul, but for local distribution of the wireless network you would need to add an EAP110-Outdoor (or an indoor AP if the WLAN is needed inside buildings) to the CPEs, connected to the CPEs by wire. Topology would be like this (replace »barn« by »residence«, resp. »lab«):
We use such a topology on camping grounds to cover large distances, see this story for example.

@R1D2 As an estimate, I'd say the school grounds with building, residences, labs admin buildings are in more a rectangular fasion than a square, roughly 600m by length and 300m by width.
Everything is located within this radius.
The computer lab, and the admin building which the main Access Point CPE will be located (Admin building roof) are less than 100 metres apart.
Residences are lined up on on side, beside the admin building, say 50 metres or so from admin building, classrooms and labs on the other side, same way as residence.

@Daniel_Siune101, for this use case CPE510 are perfectly suited for an inter-campus backhaul (but not to supply WLAN to standard clients).
