Hello,
I'm looking for some advice in selecting the hardware to create a wireless ptp link. For an autonomous vehicle project, we need to create an ethernet bridge between a moving vehicle and a fixed base station. It seems like 2.4 GHz will give us the best balance between range, obstacle penetration, and bandwidth. To get the max range possible, is the Metal 52 AC the best choice? I see it has higher power consumption compared to the Groove 52 line, so all else held equal, would this result in more power going to the antenna and a larger range?
Within the vehicle, size and weight are a major concern. Compared to the Metal 52 AC and RB260GSP separately, is there a smaller and lighter product from the RouterBOARD line that would have similar performance? They seem to be bare pcbs, which would work quite well from a mechanical perspective. Alternatively, would I be an idiot if I tried to decase any of the above products?
Thanks!
