Broadcom was one I was familiar with... didn't realize they got purchased.  I'm also familiar with Xilinx and Microsemi which they also got.

Ubiquiti has used mass market WiFi chips in most of their product line but not typically in the airFiber line which I believe is built around discrete A/D, processor and FPGA chips.  Mimosa is probably the one that built a licensed radio around a WiFi chipset. More conventional licensed radios have their own chipsets from companies like MaxLinear.

Check out the Wikipedia article about MaxLinear and their recent acquisitions, they are quite the powerhouse now.

What Ubiquiti did with the AF11 was use the cheapest chip they could find that met some other requirements.

Interesting, so I'm guessing that they're able to reduce the noise to an acceptable level at that high of power by using a narrower channel... kind of like what Ubiquiti did with the AirFiber 11.

    Just an FYI..

    According to this chart, the occupied bandwidth is only 64.5 MHz
    so you will be losing capacity vs radios that occupy the full 80
    MHz bandwidth.  The DW radio will have to be coordinated and
    licensed in one of the 80 MHz channel allocations as there are no
    FCC channel plans between 51 MHz and 79 MHz.  There are only
    4-channel pairs available at 80 MHz and its difficult to
    coordinate multiple pairs in many areas as a result. Finally,
    while these power levels are impressive, they don't tell the full
    story and you really need to compare the system gain values at the
    desired modulations.  The DW 64.5 MHz radio’s system gain at 2048
    QAM is 83 dB vs. the WTM 4100 80 MHz  radio’s system gain at 2048
    QAM which will be 73.5 dB.

        +31 is the advertised 2048QAM output on the HP variant.
        Dragonwave contacted me offline and is indicating a March
        availability. Here is the table of power output levels for
        that radio. It should also support 4096QAM, but I’m not sure
        if that’s available in the software yet.

        Looks like PTP820c is only +16.

        You’re talking about xmt power actually at 2048QAM modulation,
        right?  +31 is hard to believe.

        I remember hearing that Broadcom was supposed to have a chip
        with adaptive digital predistortion for high xmt power also
        4096QAM not sure if that became real.

        Dragonwave announced over a year ago the Harmony Enhanced
        18HP, with +31 TX power at 2048 QAM, but have never made it to
        production as far as I know. From the top of my head, here are
        some of the major radios TX power in 18 Ghz band:

        Dragonwave Harmony Enahcend HP – 31<Vaporware?>

        Dragonwave Harmony Enhanced SP – 22

        Bridgewave Navigator – 19

        Aviat WTM 4200 – 17.5

        SIAE AlfoPlus2 – 17

        Curious if anyone is aware of an 18Ghz dual core radio capable
        of higher TX power at 2048QAM? It’s quite difficult to license
        6Ghz or 11Ghz paths in my market.
