I've been scared of IgniteNet MetroLinq ever since I saw the pictures of
its insides.

Well, yeah, it depends what all he ends up feeding with it. If it needs
more than what the current AF24 can handle, I wouldn't go to an
AF24HD... An 80ghz link wouldn't even cost all that much more, and then
it'll be able to handle enough bandwidth that you'll probably never
have to mess with it again. There are also other 24ghz radios that
would at least give you the option of smaller antennas, if nothing
else. But I'd more than likely just use an ignitenet.

which are $6k opposed to $1k and don't have SFPs.
Gig upstream - AF24 - multiple 11 GHz channels\polarities.
If he gets his wish and fixes the 11 GHz 1 gigabit issue, the AF24 is
now the issue.

Yeah, but if I'm understanding right, the AF24 link is already there.

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.

I wouldn't use IgnetNet if I already had the airFibers there... if
it's only going to be feeding an 11ghz link that's around 700ish meg,
the AF24 link will handle that perfectly fine, and I see no reason to
mess with it.
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.

We have a phenomenal saf lumina link we get 366 out of. 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
