Regardless of what BS Mimosa gives you or obfuscates around, their B11
does not do FDX. Period. It chews up a gob of spectrum, and none of the
links we've tried were capable of full throughput.
The AF11 is similar, but different, and DOES do FDX, and that is
something significant. So even on links that "look" like they are
providing less throughput than the B11, the AF11 will perform better.
If you want (or need) full spectrum efficiency, you're best going to
SAF, or Trango, or Dragonwave, or Ceragon, etc.

does the website handle the FCC stuff? I personally find that hard to
believe, considering the FCC itself has a fee, unless the reseller
(unnamed) is building it into the price. Still less than SAF
Im not looking to move away from SAF, my only complaint with SAF is
that it works too well, so much that I altered routing the other day
before I realized the winds a while back turned the 800 plus pound
ballast NPM and the signal drop wasnt weather fade and that up until
essentially nothing the beast runs at full modulation
Literally, the only reason for looking at mimosa is the low cost, and
comparing the low cost of mimosa to SAF, its alot, considering SAF is
relatively cheap.
from what Ive seen, mimosa is like running mikrotik routers, you pay a
shit ton less in exchange for a little more poking, not constant
diddling, just occasional poking.
I have no interest in looking at ubnt noisy crickets on our licensed
gear, but mimosa seems promising
I need a good teeth kick now before we commit to at least 3 links
locked into this gear
SAF presales engineering is on the cautious side, a good example is
our first licensed link, our partner told us could be done with
cambium at 2 foot antennas on each side
the reseller told use with SAF it required a 3 and a 4, and that
(without saying it) our partner was smoking crack cocain after they
took bath salts. I have no doubt at 2 foot the link would have come
up, but not to a degree that a 30 db drop caused by a turned NPM would
still result in full modulation until failure,
I dont want to have an "It will link" solution at the end of the day
