The website does not handle FCC stuff... you still have to go through a coordinator, same as any other 11ghz link.
They work, and they get a ton of throughput for cheap, but don't expect them to work like a SAF. Between the two, I think I actually prefer the AF11... they can't quite match the speed of the B11, but they behave more like a normal licensed radio than the B11... they just lack an SFP port and 80mhz channels.
