Aware we are a vendor so only leaving a short post. The CableFree FOR3 product line is popular with ISPs in some countries. Available in many bands including 11GHz (and other bands 5-26GHz, including 24 UL, if interested) www.cablefree.net/for3 <http://www.cablefree.net/for3> Up to 880Mbps full duplex using 1024QAM, single polarisation, and 112MHz spectrum. You can of course set the radio to narrower channels, for example 440Mbps full duplex in 56MHz. This is a "telecom design" FDD radio with separate transmit/receive channels, so you get symmetric links up/down and low latency. Comments & questions welcome - Best regards Stephen On 31 May 2017 at 16:58, Kurt Fankhauser <lists.wavel...@gmail.com <mailto:lists.wavel...@gmail.com> > wrote: How many usable 11ghz channels are there? I looked on the Mimosa cloud map and only one other 11ghz registered link in my area and it doesn't appear to be in path with any of my towers.

But when you know you have a clear path and what the distance is, it's not very hard to calculate what the link is going to do... frequency planning is done by your coordinator.

The AF11 is certainly worth a look in my opinion, but it all depends on what you need it to do.

Does anyone actually have the AF11 in service. Is it worth a look? How is it performing for you? Any issues? Just not sure if it is worth considering or should I be looking at existing companied like; Exalt ? Dragonwave ? SAIE ? Or newer ones like Alcoma Cablefree FOR3 Anyone tried the last two? Just looking for best bang for the buck in non core ring usage.
