I’ve been pretty happy with our Luminas, although I haven’t deployed any of theirs in 6GHz. Mostly 11, 13 and 18GHz. We have plenty that fade during rain/snow and modulation returns to normal when they can. Not sure what’s up with the 6GHz, but they’re usually pretty responsive with ideas when you send them all the detailed logs and such.
