My math puts it close to $2600 for the hardware (you need two duplexors per radio, unless you're doing single polarity only). I think the last one we did was around $600 + FCC fees... which depends on whether or not you already have stuff licensed on either site, and if you're doing multiple

Right, as long as you don't need more than that 500-600mbps, and there aren't any issues with licensing both polarities, then it's really hard to justify going with anything other than AF11. It's when you need more capacity than that, or you have limited spectrum to work that things get more

Saf is solid, and price per mbps came in second to a full licensed dragon wave solution 4 or so years ago. Not sure now. But saf has been outstanding, with legitimate support, they almost harass you into getting an issue resolved. No going to the forum to get berated like lower cost solutions.

If I remember right, those radios can do about 650Mbps in an 80mhz channel. Cost was pretty reasonable, as I recall. I don't know about XPIC, but I imagine if you can use different channels on each polarity, you could do 2+0 using two sets of radios. It's been awhile since I priced these, but it
