If you are right, it sounds like McCownTech to the rescue!

This product seems to me like a defensive product against Mimosa,

yet.
I assume that was you that asked the same question on the UBNT
Forum. Their answer about working on an adapter for the Jirous dish
and if they sent you a sample maybe you could check if it fits the
Dragonwave dishes, that seems pretty naïve. Also seems to confirm
this is playing defense against Mimosa. And they seem to be thinking
“disruptive” pricing to drive high volumes, probably not thinking
much about retrofits.

I know they like white, but why then make it a connectorized radio?
That is one of the great things about the 5x, 4x, 3x + 2x,
Bring-Your-Own(or old)-Dish.
How many licensed links in use will need more bandwidth?
We just happened to have Dragonwave, who sells the most licensed links?
I would think a connectorized adapter for the most popular antennas
may be worth selling.

The history suggests, anything I might make, that actually makes
money, they eventually will incorporate in some fashion.

Maybe UBNT would like adapters designed for an array of licensed
dishes? This would help get the radios out to the masses faster.

Sure can. I would recommend SMA connectors though I think.
What does the radio have on it?

So I assume there is no adapter available based on the crickets
i've heard from a few places.
Paging Chuck McCown- If we wanted 20 or 30 of these could you make
up a batch? I assume there would be others who would end up
wanting them too.

If the dish's feed waveguide is cylindrical, yes you can use dual
polarity with it. The question is having the right adapter, which
it sounds like Chuck will build.

UBNT is about to release their 11 Ghz radios to the market. I
imagine some operators like us may want to upgrade existing 11
GHz links to the UBNT radio to gain more capacity.
Our licensed links are Dragonwave Horizon Compact and we use
the Andrew VHLP2-11-DW1 in the majority of links. Is there an
adapter that will convert these dishes to N connections?
These dishes also allow us to rotate the radio to take
advantage of Horizontal or Vertical polarities as our license
dictates. Can they be run in dual polarity? Ideally, the
adapter would have 2 N connections, one for H + V. Here is a
photo of the Dragonwave interface.
