This is what Bridgewave told me: The List Price for an ST radio with 2ft antenna and SFP's 625Mb/s thruput is about $7500 per link. (in TDD terms 1.25Gb/s in a single 80Mhz channel)
The List Price for a DT radio with antenna and SFP's full 1.25Gb/s is about $14500 per link (in TDD terms that is 2.5Gb/s using 2 80Mhz channels, or 1 using XPIC) 25 - 30% discount would apply.
