Building an array of CPE220s
I am setting up a WISP in a densely populated area (mostly trees and buildings). I have an EAP110 AP which I thought would give 360 degree covereage.However, it's signal keeps dipping to -70 to -90 dBm at 50m. I am thinking of using 6 CPE220 access points, spread out on a pole to cover 360 degrees.Each one covers 65 degrees. The target area is a 100m radius from the pole. The pole is mounted on a building that's higher than all the surrounding buildings in the target area.
Do you think it could work ?
It's not a good plan.
The CPE220 can broadcast wireless signals to the target area, but as it uses a directional antenna, it cannot provide coverage to ground-level devices (near the floor).
For your scenario, you can use a pair of CPE710 devices to establish a wireless bridge, then connect an outdoor EAP (e.g., EAP610-Outdoor) to the client-side CPE210. This should extend the network coverage to the target area effectively.
Below is an introduction of this scenario:
