This story doesn't make a bit of sense.
There would only be a handful of reasons he couldn't get "enough
throughput with AF5x radios", but could with a B5.
If it's noise, well, the AF5X is going to handle adjacent and co-channel
noise better than the B5, given the same channel widths and channel
selection.
There are certain situations where if everything was perfect and you
were using a PAIR of 40MHz channels, that you could pull it off... but
given you said it's a busy site, I'm not thinking that's the case.
I'd love to learn more about that deployment.

I�ve got 10 of them up and they have worked great. As for mixing it
with Cambium gear, that�s a tough one. Because there is no
interoperability with GPS between manufacturers, you have to rely on
normal isolation methods. You probably want to keep them at least 10
apart or more. On the one tower where I was concerned about the issue
and another location where I have a lot of 5GHz radios, Ubiquiti, and
others on the same roof, I�m using the Jirous dishes with the built-in
shrouds and then using the B5c�s. I don�t have any comparison to the
B5 in that situation, I just planned for the worst case scenario. I
have another colleague that is using the B5c�s with Ubiquiti antennas
with Ubiquiti shroud on the same roof because he needed a 34dBi
antenna and it�s shooting 32 miles. He couldn�t get enough
throughput out of the AF5x radios so he swapped to the Mimosa and he
is getting 2-3 times more throughput, about 200Mbps.

Would like to know what your feedback is on the mimosa B5
intergrated�.am looking to try this out and if its ok to mix with
cambium gear on the same towers
thanks
