Connection speed tests are performed using IPERF, the commonly used IP bandwidth measurement software. The connection download speed shows the data rate from a MVDDS transponder sending data to the client equipment from the main transmission site. The connection upload speed shows the data rate from the client equipment back to the main transmission site using the uplink frequency band. One’s actual Internet speed depends on many factors: congestion on intermediary links; the speed of the ISP backbone; the performance of the customer PC, smart phone, or tablet. How the device is connected to the home router, i.e., Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi, etc, can also affect apparent Internet download speeds.

The MVDDS downlink hexagonal antenna receives the signal over water from the Main TX site at New Bight in 12GHz band. The uplink round antenna looks toward Devil’s point RTX site with a stronger uplink signal in 5GHz band. The 12GHz downlink transmitter has a higher power level vs 5GHz equipment. That’s why the downlink signal can cross the bay but the repeater site is needed for 5GHz uplink signal to get there.
This technique demonstrates flexibility of MVDDS technology as described in Example System Configurations.
