I agree with this evaluation I only have two links up right now but a third one is halfway installed. The throughput on them at 10 miles with 2 foot dishes is easily doing 500 Mb and not dropping connections at all. Mine of course our connectorized but we also have a pair of integrated up that we were told were only good for 5 to 6 miles by the manufacture and we use them for several months in an emergency situation at almost 12 miles they did have stability problems but it got us through the pinch. And even at that distance we were getting pretty good signals according to the radios and about 200 meg of throughput but they did drop from time to time. When we put those up we didn't have time to order replacement radios to properly install them it was a quick fix to see if we could make them work and they did. I also agree that the new firmware release coming out will solve hopefully a lot of issues that we have with them like the monitoring
