Matthew, what are you talking about, “not as stable”. I’ve got several links up, one at 50 miles, that runs multiple hotels and food venues, most of which have VoIP and I’ve had zero issues for over a year.

I've been pretty happy with our AF-11FX link, but you're only going to get around double the capacity you have now, and I don't know if there's currently a way to do multiples on one dish... it might make more sense to do like Lewis suggested and add a second Lumina. There are lots of options for higher capacity licensed links, but they start to get pricey. You could probably get Chuck to make you some adapters to hook up just about anything to the SAF dishes.

I get around 270Mbit from it, and we already use 120Mit pretty consistently and if another tower OSPFs to it, more than that. Sooo, I am looking for alternatives. Its mainly one-way traffic of course, so a solution that favored that would be acceptable. 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 !
