Agreed. I don't see how it's any different. You license any channel + polarity + direction you would Tx on and the standard interference checks have you taken care of.

Call me stupid, and please explain how that is ......I can understand the issue of channel/polarity availability...however how is this potential interference different from current ..... Today, one cannot use the same channel/polarity on the same site anyway... The B11, actually opens up the possibility of channel reuse, on the same site with angular separtion ...(possibility being a key word).

The challenge isn't in coordinating the same frequency pair in H and V between two sites, in both directions. Instead, the challenge is in assessing and accepting the risk of possibly bucking your own 11GHz links or other operator's 11GHz links on or near your two endpoints. As there is no reliable way to calculate this type of interference, you may only become aware of the problem after you have installed and turned up your TDMA system. If there are no other 11GHz systems within about a half km of either site and you don't plan to expand either site with additional 11GHz equipment from other vendors, you may be ok. If not, then ?

In the olden golden days building the MCI route with full block systems, we would have "bucks" or "bumps" in frequency plans when required, and we learned first hand how important it was to use ultra high performance antennas or better in such situations. With very little free space loss, antenna performance is key and there is very little reliable data on close-coupling antenna performance, so it is extremely difficult to accurately calculate expected interference levels in these situations. With the prevalence of 2&3' antennas these days, antenna isolation will be an even larger challenge.
