I see it being a good product for less than a mile shot to connect buildings together. So like a business needs a high bandwidth connection without putting in fiber, we could use the B5-Lite which still has auto channel and it would provide up to 750 Mbps aggregate throughput for under $300 for a link. It has its place but I agree it is not on a tower. But for building to building applications, it should work great since you can leave auto everything on and not have to worry about the channel being fixed and then having interference roll in.
