I am going AF5X on the 5 GHz links.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] AF3X vs 450PTP 3.65
Did Matt say if they did the PTP version of the integrated panel 3GHz SM
yet? But no sync-over-power, timing port only on that.
If it was me, I'd save the 3.65 spectrum and do ePTP mode in 5GHz. You
can get the Force110 PTP/AP Lite radios and do sync if you want.

Has anyone done a spec comparison or better yet field comparision
between Ubiquiti's AF3X and Cambium's 450PTP? They are fairly
similar, the AF3X is more expensive than the 450PTP because Ubiquiti
prices it a lot higher than the AF5X. Cambium has an integrated panel
version of the 450SM but doesn't seem to have the PTP version of that,
otherwise it might be a plus when replacing Powerbridges. And
Ubiquiti doesn't seem to have a 3 GHz version of their smallest
airFiber dish, which would have been a plus for AF3X.
I don't see achieving max throughput on an AF3X since 30-50 MHz
channels don't seem usable. So that maybe takes away some of the
airFiber secret sauce.
I guess another approach would be to use a 450 Lite AP and an SM,
since those are parts we already use and stock. Yet another approach
would be to use the lower 5 GHz bands instead of 3.65.
