Yeah, but that's 256QAM matching or besting a 1024QAM.

The other's I've looked at are typically around 300Mbps... Not that I'm saying the AF11 is a bad radio, I plan on putting up at least a few of them this year... but I find it a little funny that they use 1024qam as a selling point, when it can't do as much throughput at 1024qam as other radios do at 256qam.

From the technical perspective of people who have to really understand the FDX capacity of a new PTP link, the ubnt marketing department is divorced from reality, it's not 1200 Mbps no matter how many slick PDFs they publish. One 40 MHz channel single polarity at 1024QAM 5/6 code rate is going to be nearly the same efficiency bps/Hz from many different manufacturers. Multiply as necessary for dual polarity or for larger channel sizes such as 60, 80 or 112 MHz.

Their claim is 1.2 gb+. Cut that in half as they're advertising the aggregate, so 600 mb+. That's using both polarities, so now only 300 mb+. Only I haven't heard of anyone getting much more than 500 in a single direction (they may certainly exist, I just haven't seen them), so now that 300 is really only 250. Not much of an upgrade unless you can also get larger channels in both polarities. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Josh Baird" < joshba...@gmail.com > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 11:47:42 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Our UBNT AF11x experience This PTP800 is only capable of running at 40Mhz (ODU-A) so it can only do 228Mbps full-duplex.

Somewhat un-related question: I have a PTP-800 link using these dishes: http://www.hol4g.com/AC/product.aspx?number=ANC-VHLP3-11W-RR1&p=237127&sc=0 Do you know if I can re-use these dishes with the AF11x?

We are very happy with its performance, just wished it had a SFP port! This unit replaced a Mimosa B11 unit that we were having some intermitent throughtput issues, The swap was easy since we reused the Jirous Dishes and only had to add the af11x adapters to it, The link went live on 9/21/16 and on the first weeks we experienced some lockups, but after a revised beta fw was applied, all issues went away. For UBNT, please add SFP port and continue the good work towards a af6x and af18x Gino Villarini President Metro Office Park #18 Suite 304 Guaynabo, Puerto Rico 00968 </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
