Is the range equivalent? From: Kurt Fankhauser Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 9:59 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] .6 KM shot with 1G Full Duplex
for $5,000 the Aviat 80ghz solution is actually cheaper than AF24HD and 10x the throughput! On Wed, Feb 26, 2020 at 10:36 AM Mathew Howard <[email protected]> wrote: Good to know. That's an incredibly good deal... definitely what I'd go with. You'll probably be paying at least that for a 1Gbps link from any of the other manufacturers.

I think we'll give the 80G Siklu a shot.

If the project isn't cost sensitive, and you want the best you can get, then just go with 80ghz... there basically is no cheap junk for that band, so just pick your favorite vendor and buy what they have. If you do want to go cheap, then there are a few things to consider. Ignitenet an Ubiquiti (although I don't think their radios are actually shipping yet), have an extra channel at the top end of the band that can get a bit better range, which the Mikrotiks can't (legally) use... but that's not really going to make a lot of difference at that distance anyway. Ignitenet is the only one with an SFP port, if that matters, and they also have a radio that's capable of 2.5gbps, instead of only 1gpbs... they're also the most expensive of the cheap options. Mikrotik uses a beam forming antenna, so they're about 100000x easier to aim then the Ignitenets (I believe Ubiquiti does as well, but I haven't used their radios yet). None of the cheap 60ghz radios are true full duplex radios, but I think they're all capable of delivering a full gig in each direction at the same time. If you don't want cheap, but don't want to deal with 80ghz licensing (which is pretty cheap and simple, but it is another thing that has to be done), then Siklu 60ghz would probably be a good option. Or you could just stick with AF24HD, which will certainly do the job, but considering what they cost, it makes more sense to me to just go with 80ghz at that distance. You could also go with Mimosa B24 for 24ghz, but they're half duplex radios, and I don't think that they can handle a full 2gbps aggregate.

Vendors in this space include Bridgewave, Siklu and Aviat. Aviat probably gives you the best bang for your buck. Cambium has a new mmWave product, but I don't know anything about it.
