What would you recommend for a wireless link 15 miles where 5.8 GHz is completely swamped with other users? Looking for the most affordable option.

- grahamburger 10y agoHow much throughput do you need and how reliable does it need to be? Also are you in an area that gets a lot of rain? If you need something highly reliable and high throughput 6ghz licensed is probably your best bet, but it won't be particularly cheap compared to unlicensed. You could try 2.4ghz, but if 5ghz is swamped then the other unlicensed bands probably are as well. There's also 5.2 through 5.4 ghz, but they also might be swamped and you have to do dfs, meaning your link can (and probably will) shut off for a minute at a time every time it thinks it hears weather radar. There's also 3.65ghz that could be an option. (I'm assuming you're in the US, if not much of this probably isn't applicable.) EDIT: I have a few other ideas/suggestions depending on your situation. Email in my profile if you'd like to continue the conversation.
