| Atheros 300mW pcmcia cards on RB230 great match? I would have thought this card would be a great upgrade for the people running 200mW prism cards. It would be great to be able to run two of theses cards with one CM9.
I have one MT RB230 on the tower now, but I want to add two more. The way I would like to set each of them up is to have two of the pcmcia Ubiquiti cards and one CM9. I would have each MT AP running 2.4ghz on one 300mW card and the other would run 5.8ghz and then the cm9 for back haul.
So in all I would have 3 2.4 channels and 3 5.8 channels for clients with 3 5.x back hauls. The antennas I have are 2.4 and 5.8 so I would have 3 mounts on the tower with 1 sector and a grid or dish.
This seems to be a great way to maximize my tower space.
I hope someone will answer me on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the specs on the 300mW Card
Current Consumption at 3.3V
802.11a
6-24Mb Transmit 850mA, +/-100mA
36Mb Transmit 700mA, +/-100mA
48Mb Transmit 650mA, +/-100mA
54Mb Transmit 550mA, +/-100mA
802.11b/g:
1-24Mb Transmit 900mA, +/-100mA
36Mb Transmit 750mA, +/-100mA
48Mb Transmit 700mA, +/-100mA
54Mb Transmit 600mA, +/-100mA
802.11a/b/g:
1-54Mb Receive 350mA, +/- 50mA |
