Yes. We installed 3 of these links on a very heavily congested tower, with about 5' of vertical separation, with very little available 5GHz spectrum. It found spectrum that it liked, however it created some issues for our other links on this same tower. We had to still do some frequency planning to avoid disruption to existing links.
All the cloud tools we have seen at tradeshows are working as described previously. 2x20MHz Channel, 346.7Mbit PHY Rate, B5 Integrated, 3.64 miles. 2x20MHz Channel, 173.3Mbit PHY Rate, B5C, 14.73 miles. (This link may be misaligned still) 2x20MHz Channel, 260Mbit PHY Rate, B5C, 14.39 miles. 2x20MHz Channel, 231.1Mbit PHY Rate, B5, 8.72 miles. I installed 3 of these myself. I found the installation process to be relatively easy, and they have some neat little tweaks. The WiFi alignment via iPhone was also helpful. Additionally, ground crew was also able to login to the 2.4GHz Wifi.
