Model: EAP215-Bridge KIT   CPE710  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi,

We about to start second location in 4000ft away on part of city mostly warhouse size of our bulding and I was about to get internet for that bulding from cable provider at cost of 1000 a year.

We already have a Fiber internet on good collection of omada switches, controller, router, indoor wifi in main bulding and having lan access to second location just make every thing easier. (Inventory access, VOIP, Security cam and devices, Internet,...)

What do you thing in term of link quality in such area with other wifi in range, some tree in sight?

If you go wifi, will you go with EAP215-Bridge KIT or you pick directional antena like CPE710?

 

 

Hi,

We are about to start a second location 4000ft away in an area with warehouse buildings. I was considering getting internet for the new building from a cable provider at a cost of $1000 per year.

We already have fiber internet with a good collection of Omada switches, controller, router, and indoor WiFi in the main building. Having LAN access to the second location would make everything easier, including inventory access, VOIP, security cameras, and other devices.

What do you think about the link quality in such an area with other WiFi networks in range and some trees in sight?

If we go with WiFi, would you recommend the EAP225-Bridge KIT or a directional antenna like the CPE710? How high should I mount the AP's? 

Thanks.

The EAP215 bridge kit and the CPE710 can both assist you in establishing point-to-point connections to extend internet access from one building to another.
EAP215 bridge kits can be managed by the Omada Controller, however CPE710 cannot. So, if you have other Omada devices and want to manage them all centrally, consider the EAP215 bridge kit. It is advisable to place the units at a greater height to reduce the impact of the barrier between them and improve their visibility.

Good call, 4000' would be a stretch even with a clear line of sight in an urban environment...throw in some tree tops...and maybe it works, but not if it rains or....

You are going pretty far in an urban environment, so you will want the tightest antenna beam possible.  The CPE710 is 7'/9' vs the 35'/35' of the EAP215 bridge...I would do the CPE710 if I were you, taking the time to optimize the aim will ensure best possible performance (I recommend a compass and judicious use of Google Earth :) ). Keep in mind a metal pole will affect the magnetic needle in the compass, so you should consider using a dummy mast of wood/plastic to establish your initial aim (pick a landmark).

 

You may still have issues with the 710 depending on how much competition there is in the 5.8G band in your area.  You may wind up having to go to 60Ghz with some like the Ubiquiti AirFibre line.

  @SVAFAG Today I went up in the roof and just figured that I have trees in my sight to the remote location and I am not gonna bother establishing link for saving $70-90 a month not paying for cable internet.

Maybe 20ft beam clear the view but I don't see it worth the headache.

Those trees are located in middle of the path.
