Well, yeah, it depends what all he ends up feeding with it. If it needs more than what the current AF24 can handle, I wouldn't go to an AF24HD... An 80ghz link wouldn't even cost all that much more, and then it'll be able to handle enough bandwidth that you'll probably never have to mess with it again. There are also other 24ghz radios that would at least give you the option of smaller antennas, if nothing else. But I'd more than likely just use an ignitenet.
