Can I set 5GHz channels to 40Mhz?
I have 2 Orbis and I have some questions about channelwidts for 5Ghz. I have no problem with the dedicated 5GHz backhaul radio operating on a 80MHz bandwidth, but I would REALLY like to be able t...
I cannot recall anyone ever mentioning that this can be done. What I have seen is this description (below) of the 5G radio space, with the comment that customers would be probably be unhappy with slower connection speed. When people pose a question on the forum, they usually have something specific in mind. So, I am wondering what is the advantage of reducing the channel width, or what problem does it solve. Thanks
The largest thing that reducing chanel width does is reduce CCI. With non DFS channels being used, we only have a very limited number of 5GHz channels to select from. I understand the backhaul radio being at 80MHz, but the fronthaul radio I would love to reduce the channel width to 20 or 40MHz so that I can select a clean frequency.
This is a MAJOR issue in MDU environments, or dense neighborhoods.
