It’s wise of them to have dropped 5GHz because it never really worked all that well. The radios/antennas didn’t seem to be made for it and it ends up causing more issues than it solves IMO.

All the other 60GHz radios have a 5GHz backup of some sort. We have installed a number of the little 60GHz GBE radios and they seem solid for short links with easy aim.

I would never try 12 but I'm tempted to go for up to 3.

Ubiquiti AF60LR will do a bit better than the other options, because it can use the higher channels.

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]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > We havent dealt with 60ghz other than as an outside contractor so ive never > looked at performance directly.
