Conclusion & Recommendation Note: From the link simulator we only have M2 & M5 and the beam width of the NanoStation is 45 o.  All Nanostations acting as APs should be replaced  From the site details, the APs are clearly overlapping each other  There are still coverage gaps for these sites which could be covered by better utilization of the sector antennas  When doing down tilt in APs, careful consideration should be done since these devices already have an electrical down tilt embedded in them  Antennas have wind survivability which means they will move if the wind speed is too high; therefore azimuth verification must be part of routine maintenance.  All subsequent installation reports should have an attached link prediction
