i once had a mimosa tech support guy help us out. we had a link that just
didn't modulate like other links....but one thing i saw him do was turn the
power down. it surprised me a bit. this was on a b5/b5c.
i wonder if that is a mimosa thing...like cat6 is apparently a mimosa thing.
don't get me wrong, i love my mimosa b5/b5cs, but i may be very close to
needing even more bandwidth than my 2x80 can give me and may be looking at 11
gig....
so reading this carefully...

B11 just isn't solid enough for me. I've installed 4 links for other people
with a few being short (like 3 miles) and they would not modulate well without
turning the power down significantly.
One 10 mile short we did works with the power turned down but is cuts in to
the SNR and we need that to survive rain. They just act quirky to me.

Sure, it also has greater potential throughput and an SFP cage.

Just went through their costing page. More than an AF11x system.

List is $2k, available for less.

What is the cost of a B11 radio?

It's a WiFi based chipset but that has nothing to do with the modulation
being all over the place for no apparent reason. That's simply not true
Matthew and has nothing to do with the chipset or the PHY layer. If the
link is calculated correctly and installed correctly, that is simply not
the
case. Every single radio out there adapts to a changing environment
because
if they didn't, they would disconnect when conditions got below the link
specifications.
I've got several up, one at 50 miles so we have some experience with the
radios. I’m upgrading it to Cambium 820's shortly simply because I want
more bandwidth but the radio costs are 5 times higher and we put them in a
year ago. However, other B11's we have in place have been flawless as well
as our Dragonwaves and Siklus.

Isn't it just a wifi-based thing in a licensed band?
