  • 1.  Point-to-Point Bridge with Aruba

    Posted Mar 21, 2022 11:28 AM
    Hey, everyone!

    I'm aware Aruba is able to create point-to-point bridges with any of their devices, however I would like to know what's the maximum distance I could get with aruba's 574 and it's biggest directional antenas, as well as to see if there's any option to create a 6500ft bridge with any of their devices.

    Regards and thanks in advance!

    That's pretty far...lol. Aruba's Point-to-point outdoor APs (AP-387) go up to 400 meters (about 1,300 feet). I do not think that there is an Aruba branded Antenna that will get you that distance And even if it did, aligning it would be a nightmare. You might be dealing with an unsupported deployment on the Aruba APs. You will need to make sure your staying within FCC guidelines and not going over the allowed transmit powers.

    your requirement is just under 2Km, with AP-377 (wave2 11ac) you can have stable P2P mesh link assuming clear line of sight.
    I think this could be the case with AP-577 but it is best to talk to your local Aruba SE to check the details and advise on the link speed over this distance.

    There used to be a VRD on it as well which covered 11ac wave 2 APs.
    This is what i could find for your reference. version 1.1
