You shpuld do more research. There is a reason people are pulling down B11 and replacing them with UBNT 11x.
>From your comment about noisy crickets, it seems that you haven't used much of >the UBNT AirFiber line. It is a solid product line that does what it says for >dirt cheap. Mimosa chews up the spectrum, requiring about 2x the channel space thay other radios use because it is wifi based chipsets. If 11ghz spectrum is plentiful where you are and you don't mind higher latency, go Mimosa. If not, look at any other provider, including the AirFiber 11x.

I personally find that hard to believe, considering the FCC itself has a fee, unless the reseller (unnamed) is building it into the price. Still less than SAF Im not looking to move away from SAF, my only complaint with SAF is that it works too well, so much that I altered routing the other day before I realized the winds a while back turned the 800 plus pound ballast NPM and the signal drop wasnt weather fade and that up until essentially nothing the beast runs at full modulation Literally, the only reason for looking at mimosa is the low cost, and comparing the low cost of mimosa to SAF, its alot, considering SAF is relatively cheap. from what Ive seen, mimosa is like running mikrotik routers, you pay a shit ton less in exchange for a little more poking, not constant diddling, just occasional poking. I have no interest in looking at ubnt noisy crickets on our licensed gear, but mimosa seems promising I need a good teeth kick now before we commit to at least 3 links locked into this gear SAF presales engineering is on the cautious side, a good example is our first licensed link, our partner told us could be done with cambium at 2 foot antennas on each side the reseller told use with SAF it required a 3 and a 4, and that (without saying it) our partner was smoking crack cocain after they took bath salts. I have no doubt at 2 foot the link would have come up, but not to a degree that a 30 db drop caused by a turned NPM would still result in full modulation until failure, I dont want to have an "It will link" solution at the end of the day
