SIAE I believe will be your best bang and at a reasonable buck. Aviat, maybe. 
Bridgewave, still waiting.

So what current product current release radio has the best throughput in the 11 
GHz band?

So I just read up about the AF11x. I haven't been paying much attention to this 
product because I've been busy with other things. 

The datasheet claims "best spectral efficiency in class" and "1.2gbps". 
Various people on the forum made claims that don't match up with simple 
comparisons of spec sheets. Some were UBNT employees, others were just fanboys. 

The actual info on the spec sheets is that you get about 22% less throughput 
per channel at the same modulation level and same channel size as competing 
products. They claim huge numbers by adding multiple channels together. You 
also can't use a full 80mhz channel, so if I compare to a PTP820C (which 
actually can do 1.2gbps full duplex in XPIC), the Airfiber 11x is more like 42% 
less throughput. 

So the spec sheet is factually accurate with it's numbers, but the text 
narrative is clearly intended to mislead the buyer. Having just realized this, 
I'm a bit offended. 

It seems the only thing it really has going for it is being very inexpensive. 
Like I can get 2 AF11x's for less than one PTP820S with full speed licenses. So 
if I can get enough channels licensed for 2 XPIC links, then the AF11x is still 
compelling. And it might mean I can justify an 11ghz link for a lower volume 
site than I could otherwise. They didn't need to lie about it.
