SISO, one diplexer, FDD makes perfect sense to me. That's your traditional 1+0.

I could be completely wrong, but the second optional diplexer sounds to me like it's for use where you need to license in separate sub-bands. Next question is, can you run the same sub-band on both ports? So the same Tx channel on both polarities. So then it would be XPIC MIMO? <snicker> Actually, that'd be pretty nuckin futs if they could do that. And very efficient. And then Ubi-wan Chucknobi comes in and says....... unpossible. Just to smash my dreams.

    OK, let me make this clearer. I'm talking about FDD systems using

    AF5 (not X) or 24/HD in FDD mode. Say AF24 running 24.1 Tx and
    24.2 Rx. Vice versa for the opposite end. It's a "MIMO" radio system.

    Now take traditional microwave vendor X. Same stuff. FDD. Tx hi
    both polarities at one end, Tx low both polarities at the other.
    This is called an "XPIC" radio system.

    What is the difference between XPIC and MIMO?

    Sounds to me like two guys named Pete and Peter walk into a bar.
    Is the only difference their name, but they're actually the same
    guy because Steve is drunk and has double vision? Or is Steve not

    Basically, what the hell is the fundamental difference between
    the two?

            AF11X actually has two internal radios if my
            understanding of the platform is correct. It is Full
            Duplex + MIMO.

                The Mimosa is a very strange duck. Even using 2

                actually run it full duplex. The high-latency half
                duplex is pretty much baked in. IMO, it squanders
                air bandwidth at the expense of cheapness. And it's
                highest modulation rate is still only 256QAM. We had
                serious trouble trying to even get 256QAM on a
                relatively modest distance link.

                    In licensed radio world, the default lingo is as
                    follows:-
                       A single channel  is actually two channels,
                    one channel is used to Transmit and the other
                    channel is used to receive.
                       and each of these channels pair can be either
                    in V polarity or H polarity (but not mingled).
                    XPIC is used to describe a radio where you can
                    mount two radios together, one using the H
                    polarity and the other using V polarity, but the
                    same channel...
                    But still only one channel (H + V) is used to
                    transmit and the other channel is used to
                    Receive. (Thus Full duplex)

                    MIMO...., = One Channel, both H & V polarities
                    are used,  and either one can be used for Tx and
                    Rx  (thus half duplex)

                    AF11x =  Traditional Licensed radio... one
                    channel/polarity for TX  and one
                    channel/polarity for RX
                    Mimosa B11 =  Disruptive... a very odd animal...
                    can be configured as...
                          Use one channel (both polarities)  for TX
                     and one channel (both polarities) for RX
                                 or ... Use Two Channels, both
                    polarities in each channel, and use either one
                    to TX & RX  (more like a dual channel MIMO)
                    AF5  =    Uses one channel (both polarities) for
                    Tx and one channel (both polarities) for RX

                    AF24 =   can be used as
                     One Channel (Dual Polarities) for TX  and one
                    Channel (Dual Polarities) for RX
                     or can use the same one channel (dual
                    polarities) for Tx and Rx.

                    Hope this is as clear as mud !

                        What's so much different between XPIC and
                        MIMO? I'm asking because I guess I'm just
                        ignorant. MIMO = single carrier (is OFDM
                        implied?), dual streams? And XPIC = dual
                        carriers (is single-carrier QAM per channel
                        implied?) and independent streams that are
                        aggregated in hardware, perhaps as simple as
                        a LAG on the internal switch? Or does XPIC
                        add some more magic?

                        So then what is the UBNT AF11X considered?
                        Or the AF5 and 24 for that matter since
                        they're also capable of FDD.

                            Hi Ken, the Lynx and Orion are largely
                            identical. The biggest difference
                            between the two is that the Orion
                            supports XPIC where as the Lynx does
                            not.   Keep in mind that either model
                            can be set up for 2+0, but only with the
                            Orion can both radios operate on the
                            same channel. Other than that, the Orion
                            does offer higher TX power (for certain
                            frequencies) compared to the Lynx.
                            However with 6 GHz, the TX frequency for
                            Lynx and Orion are the same. Orion also
                            features SynchE/1588 functionality which
                            is not found on the Lynx.  Both models
                            now support buffer size up to 8 MB.

                                            recently from Exalt
                                            about a big sale through
                                            the end of the year on
                                            Extreme Air 6Hz.  Oops,
                                            I just found the email,
                                            and it’s everything but
                                            6 GHz.  Not sure I’d buy
                                            Exalt anyway. Maybe
                                            someone else was having
                                            an overstock sale on 6 GHz?

                                            system

                                            First I have to find out
                                            if there are channels in
                                            this area.

                                            Then I have a passive
                                            repeater to deal with...

                                            Not a simple path to
                                            engineer.

                                            Well you can only use
                                            60MHz channels max. That
                                            helps make it more
                                            competitive.

                                            6GHz most likely
                                            precludes higher
                                            modulations… you just
                                            won’t have the link
                                            budget.  Also depends if
                                            you’re going all outdoor
                                            or split-mount/all-indoor.

                                            I’d be shocked if there
                                            is a winner here – I’d
                                            go with the solution
                                            your most comfortable with.

                                            My guess is you will end
                                            up with Ceragon/Cambium
                                            or SIAE. DragonWave
                                            Harmony Advanced is
                                            certainly worth a look,
                                            although I’m not sure
                                            about 6GHz availability
                                            since it just started
                                            shipping.

                                            we could look at some
                                            things.
