The AF5 is too much money for a backhaul in an already overused frequency I think.
Besides, I have a link with the RM5AC-lites using the original rocket dish 5G30 and getting a consistent 300Mbps for a mere $500. Put two of those links into an aggregate and get basically the same thing at half the price. My latency is 1-2ms on a 3 mile link. I do have them shielded though. Without the shielding I was lucky if I got 150Mb.
