Looking at the Bridgewave Navigator again, it appears to support 160 MHz channels. So in bands where you can license 80 MHz each way FDD (18 GHz, 23 GHz), if you can get two adjacent 80 channels, you can run 160 MHz each way, dual polarity, 4096QAM? Nothing is going to beat the shannon limit but t

If you're describing a wave service provisioned on a carrier's DWDM chassis, for 10G, the ethernet handoff on each side will almost certainly be 1310nm/LX. You also need to understand whether it's been built using LANPHY or WANPHY (eg: is it an OC192 built on a legacy system or is it a native 10Gb
