It's obviously pricier than the B11, but if you want true symmetrical and a ton of throughput, you could look at the Huawei RTN-380 radios. These will do 4Gbps (2Gbps symmetrical) at full licensing, or there are 1, 2, 3Gbps licensing options. They use 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz and so are super easy and cheap to get (lightly) licensed. These are very popular with carriers outside the US, but not so much in the US because of all the Huawei/Ciscolobby disputes, but that has largely been resolved and they have been getting traction here. Let me know if you want more info, we are Huawei VAR.
