I have been looking at AF5X as a way to get rid of PTP Powerbridges and Rockets. I have some of each in 3.65 and I never liked the frequency converted UBNT radios, so maybe this is the path of least resistance to get them out of the network. Was probably going to just redo them in U-NII-1, but now could maybe stay in 3.65.

I just don't get why it needs to be double the cost of the 5x. Streakwave is already showing them in stock, or was this morning anyway.

The way I see it is if you need to use 3 GHz for a backhaul, it's a great option if you can get decent throughput. The next step up would be licensed...

It's not worth it at that price. With the limited bandwidth available you won't get 500+Mbps on that thing. Not on a 50Mhz channel.

I was a little shocked at the price on the 3x, I didn't tgink it'd be that much different from the 5x.
