Anyone who have them both running did an unbiased comparison?

We've several B5 links running and are quite happy with them.

Good 11ac radios in a very neat package.



The AF5x on the other side is a custom designed radio which seems to

squeeze more mbits out of smaller channels. In a 40MHz Channel I see

an aggregated thruput of 320 Mbit/s with the B5 with 4ms framesize at

MCS9 (256QAM).

Looking at the AF5X (inofficial) link table should do 390 Mbit/s aggregated

with 2ms framesize. So they promise to do higher bandwidth with lower

latency in a 40MHz Channel (at smaller channels the difference is higher

as .ac do only MCS8).



Is the AF5X the better radio with limited spectrum while the B5 can do more

with enough spectrum available?



I've sites where I ran out of spectrum (ETSI) so I plan to put AF5X there.
