I consider Utah a desert.

Even with 6' dishes, availability would have to be pretty poor... unless it's
in a desert.
11ghz should be possible, but yeah, probably going to want at least 4' dishes.
Id you want cheap, either a B11 or AF-11FX link should be able to hit that kind
of speeds.

I have seen an 18GHz link that far with 6' dishes.

Not a chance at 18. Maybe 11, but that's even far for 11 GHz without huge
dishes.
Play with Mimosa's designer, Cambium's LinkPlanner, etc.

Hi,
I've never yet done a licensed link and there is plenty of these two
frequencies available in my area. I need to be able to get 500Mbps at about 15
miles. Is that possible with either of these?
What kind of real world speeds can I expect out of these and what channel
size do I need to license to get those speeds?
Is there something else I should consider? What brand/model radios and
dishes, what other frequencies for easier licensing, etc?
It would be great to be able to get a gig that distance, but I'm trying to
be realistic and get just what I really need to start with.
No legal advice please, just your experience with it and any knowledge
you'd be able/willing to share with the licensing of these frequencies.
Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
