Running an 11GHz, 16+ mile shot. I'm getting 277 Mbps on a single 40MHz wide channel (you could use an 80 or a doubled 40 to get over 500 Mbps). It works great when the weather's nice, but the rain fade is a monster. Anytime a giant storm parks itself between the two sides for 30-60 minutes, then it goes down, and them's the breaks.

I need to be able to get 500Mbps at about 15 miles. Is that possible with either of these? What kind of real world speeds can I expect out of these and what channel size do I need to license to get those speeds? Is there something else I should consider? What brand/model radios and dishes, what other frequencies for easier licensing, etc? It would be great to be able to get a gig that distance, but I'm trying to be realistic and get just what I really need to start with. No legal advice please, just your experience with it and any knowledge you'd be able/willing to share with the licensing of these frequencies. Thank you, Brett A Mansfield
