+1, never had a problem with 7 miles at 18 GHz. Even stretched a few to 9 without big problems (minor rain fade during storms).

I would do all the shots less than 7 miles in 18GHz if you can’t get 11GHz.

For the shorter(4-5 mile) links you could do something like the Siklu EX2500 with 2' antennas and a hot fall over (This is a licensed feature but its cheap) They also have an antenna with integrated 5GHz so if you were doing the backup in 5GHz you could do it all on one antenna. The backup radio plugs into the Siklu and it does the fall over for you so you don't need to do that in routing etc. On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 2:05 PM, Mathew Howard <mhoward...@gmail.com> wrote: Yeah, if the actual requirements are a full duplex 1 gig link, then it's going to be expensive. It sounds like this is all going to be sharing the existing 1 gig fiber that they already have, so I suspect that it probably doesn't really need to be a full gig everywhere... if that's the case, then it can be done a lot cheaper, and with a lot less spectrum. An 11ghz radio on a single 80mhz channel can do over 600Mbps, and can be had relatively cheap. The cheapest way to get something that's close enough to a gig that won't matter to most people would be using B11's, but that's not full duplex, and it would burn up a LOT of spectrum... actually, I'm not sure if it would even be possible to run 4 B11 links that close to the same direction, even if the entire band is completely clear...

Now if the requirements were say sub 1G (500meg to 800meg) then you have a few more options which can be in the range of $3k to $7k per link Bigger challenge will be finding enough licensed spectrum to do what is needed.

They have four remote locations (4.1, 4.4, 6.2 and 9.1 miles ) from office. All are west and with a 60 degree span if I was using a sectored antenna. On email, they indicated they want licensed links and want to deliver 1GBps to each location. Not sure if they are adding more CenturyLink feeds to provide 1Gig to each site. I wonder what you guys would recommend? I know it's a energy company and Pecan farm outfit in eastern NM. Let's say they have good budget , dazzle me with your suggestions?
