I have exactly 1 SAF Lumina link, 6GHz at 30 miles, that does ~360Mbps
(56MHz/256QAM weak-FEC ACM). I have fiber on both sides of this link, so
the full-duplex is needed. And even if it wasn't, I'd still want it for
the sub-millisecond latency, and rain fades on other paths causing
traffic reversal. We'll probably end up upgrading that to an IP20/PTP820
within the next year or so.
So when you say 270Mbps... is that a 40 or 80MHz (56 usable) channel?
But I thought 40MHz would yield ~250Mbps on a Lumina? Anyway... if it's
40, can you re-coordinate for 80? I'd also agree with what others have
said, get another set and do 2+0 since you want to keep the same
antennas. I'm sure you can still find an OMC or whatever SAF calls it.

I get around 270Mbit from it, and we already use 120Mit pretty

Cost is a factor of course, as I also have a �parallel path� a few
miles south to do the same on very soon.� Something that could use the
same dishes from the SAF would be good also.
I have some undeployed Mimosa B11�s that we bought for a project and
are still waiting on some tower rights to get settled. I could use
those, or maybe AF-11X or multiples thereof.� I might as well plan for
the future since this is a �main artery� link.� We have sufficient 11
Ghz channels available to license.
Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated !
