I wouldn't recommend the MetroLinq. We still have a few of them in our network, but they tend to just die out of the blue especially in cold weather. And it's not really 2.5Gbps unless you are all 1500 byte packets. It's more back to 1Gbps or even less throughput on smaller packets because it has a weak CPU/PPS capacity. We've pulled most of them out of our network.

It hangs in there surprisingly well during rain unless it’s really DUMPING rain. I think during normal or heavy rain it’s still in the mid to high 50’s. Doesn’t seem to use the 5GHz backup much, but traffic drops off fast when you do. I have another link doing 1.3km, much worse in heavy rain, but very impressive throughput when it’s not raining, surprisingly. > On Feb 19, 2021, at 11:51 AM, Steve Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > > We havent dealt with 60ghz other than as an outside contractor so ive never > looked at performance directly.
