Estimating throughput for Point-to-Multipoint Wireless Bridges

[gregory.bryant]

Help,

I am attempting to locate a tool or rule of thumb for estimating the max throughput for a point-to-multipoint (3 non-root bridges) configuration. The aironet 1410 wireless bridges will be used. The max distance between the links is 1.5 miles. The root/hub bridge will use a 9.0 dbi omni-directional antenna and the non-root bridges will be using the 22.5 dbi integrated antennas. Is there a tool that provides max throughput and effective throughput per link or aggregate throughput at the root bridge.

thanks

Check the outdoor bridge calculation utility from Cisco.
