Can both radios on AP-7562 be configured as 2.4GHz?

Guys,

I have been investigating datasheet & technical guides on extreme webpages to see black & white confirmation if both radios on AP-7562 (external) can be support 2.4GHz at the same time, instead of 1 radio on 2.4GHz & other radio on 5GHz.

As a comparison, AP-8163 do explicitly mentioned 2 of 3 radios can be configured both on 2.4GHZ or 5GHz.

I have been in contact with a particular distibutor/reseller/systemintegrator, but thus far have no convincing answers. In case you’re wondering why I didnt use AP-8163, its because AP-8163 is not legal for the country I’m planning to use, but AP-7562 is OK.

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

We have AP-8163 with both radios on 2.4GHz on different non-overlapping channel  in  underground mines with rocky tunnels, miles long with various angles & elevations . As for the antennas, either Poynting Heli-3, Heli-4 or Heli-8 were used on the radio. As with this AP, each radio allows up to 3 antennas.

An an example; for each AP, radio#1 [2.4GHz channel#1] is connected to 2 x Heli-3 antennas, pointing to left tunnel, and radio#2 [2.4GHz channel#6] with 2 x Heli-4 antennas to the right tunnel. These antennas are high gain (~17dBi) directional circular polarised antennas. Signals from each radio therefore never propagate in the same direction.

This is the reason I’m looking for AP-7562 if it can do what AP-8163 does on its radios.

The 7562 does NOT support having both radios configured for 2.4GHz.

As far as I know, neither does the 8163 (Also does NOT support dual 5GHz).  I’ve never heard of ANY of the WING APs supporting dual-2.4 configurations.  In fact, I’ve never heard of ANY other vendor supporting this operation.
