Everything works beautifully at 700’. At this distance it’s more about cost savings. Don’t waste your time with AF24 when a 60ghz link at 1/3 the cost and twice the throughput will fit the bill perfectly.

Ignitenets should work beautifully on a 700ft link, but if I only needed 700Mbps, I'd rather have airFibers. If it gets to the point where ~700Mbps isn't enough, then yes, I'd use IgniteNet.

I can 2+0 this to get to 732. using the existing 3 and 4 foot antennas I wouldnt mind seeing a little more of our gigabit upstream connectivity utilized here, somewhere along the same price using the same antennas Im not at all impressed with the mimosa gear, its not full duplex and putting that much variable latency into the network bringing our bandwidth into the core of our network just seems like moving backward. before I give my blessing, for what its worth, to the boss to order the SAF gear, I just want to make sure there isnt a better option. Lumina is older and nearing EOL im guessing, we have other places the units can be used. on the same note, we bring this bandwidth up from the fiber by AF24 700 feet, so probably should ask about a 24ghz (or anything) short link solution. Im assuming af24hd will meet that need
