There are tons of use for this radio. The radio pushes about 450mbps with no problem with 80MHz channels for $300. How could you not find a place for this? I'm planning on upgrading a bunch of Nanostations that are doing nothing but that on short range links. Even without sync, there is a boatload of 5GHz spectrum, and in many cases, if you are afraid of the interference, just move it to a different wall. I've got a B5 and B5-Lite on the same pole within 5' of each other and I'm running the B5-Lite at 80Mhz.

I do not see the point of B5 Lite for a Wisp. It is a single .ac radio like UBNT or MT without sync or filtering. But if it shows the same level of colocation interference problems as B5 does (you have to separate it 3m from other gear or modulations goes down) it cant compete with e.g. PowerBeam M5 AC ISO. If it was syncable somehow with B5 so you can colocate B5 and B5 lite it would make sense to me. So a B5 lite with this form factor, one radio and GPS ... But I guess this is the same HW as planned for the PTMP CPE so they have to develop this gear anyway. Stefan
