Details for the 802.11a link attempt:

• The ICTP end will use a 17dBi patch antenna

• The Muggia end will use a 33dBi dish antenna (patch antenna as feeder of a 1.2 m parabolic reflector)

• Both radios have the following radio characteristics:

  Receive Sensitivity:
   -68 dBm @ 54 Mbps
   -75 dBm @ 24 Mbps
   -84 dBm @ 6 Mbps
  
  Transmit Power:
   15 dBm @ 54 Mbps
   18 dBm @ 6 to 24 Mbps
  
  Transmitting channel: 5.745 GHz

• If so, what is the expected radio link rate?
• What is the fade margin on such a link?
• What (if anything) would improve the quality of the link?
