Support.

One thing about the IP20/PTP820 is that it's not obvious how to configure it correctly.  Plan to spend some time with the manuals or plan to call support.  I put in a ticket to Cambium support and they set my link up for me and I didn't have to do anything and never had to touch it since.  --and I ended up paying about the same price as I would have paid Ceragon.  I don't know what Ceragon support is like in general, but when I called them about an IP10 some years ago and I didn't have a support contract they wouldn't even provide firmware.  I'm sure they're awesome when you pay them.

PTP820 - why buy from Cambium instead of direct from Ceragon?

56mhz throughput data capacities vs 80mhz throughput data capacities is a significant factor.  Plus can the AF11 do ACCP (Unless yo use 2 dishes or a custom combiner)?   We had a link recently with only 80mhz channels available on vertical.  Getting to 4096 QAM is not easy on longer links (Probably anything over 4-5miles) IMO.    I am a huge fan of Ceragon IP/20/Cambium PTP820 very reliable radios with a great feature set.  The only thing they are missing is a SFP+ port (Which I believe is coming on a new version)

    The efficiency is a dumpster fire. 256 QAM radios have about the
    same spectral efficiency.

    Well, the efficiency isn't quite that bad. at 1024QAM (they
    actually do support 2048QAM now too) they can do somewhere around
    350-375Mbps per polarity using a 56mhz channel, which is about
    the same as what our old SAF Lumina can do at 256QAM... of course
    if you figure that as an 80mhz channel, rather than 56mhz, it's
    pretty bad. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't meet the FCC
    efficiency requirements at the lowest modulations, but you'd have
    to have a pretty poorly engineered link for that to be a problem.

        If I remember right the biggest spectral efficiency problem
        with the AF-11x is that it uses both polarizations yet only
        gets the throughput of a single pol link.  Could be difficult
        to license if you can’t get both polarizations.  Good news,
        if you’re successful getting the license, you should be able
        to modify the license and upgrade to a true 1.3+ Gbps full
        duplex radio from SIAE, Aviat, Cambium, etc.  Bad news, if
        you’re pushing the distance such that you can’t run 1024QAM
        or better most of the time, you may not meet the FCC minimum
        spectral efficiency requirement.

        Yeah, but the AF11 actually has to use an 80mhz emission
        designator, even though it's really only using 56mhz... so
        theoretically, if you upgrade the link to radios that can
        handle 80mhz, you shouldn't have any problems licensing it.

            You license an emission designatior... not a channel per se.

            When you license 56MHz of spectrum you use the 80MHz
            channel plan but there isn't 24MHz of unused spectrum
            sitting there... it gets used up pretty quickly for other
            paths, etc.

            So moral of the story... don't do that.

                No, that's not allowed. You need to license two 40MHz
                channels.
