[AFMUG] Aviat vs Cambium 820c

2020-03-29 Thread Kurt Fankhauser
Looking at the specs it appears Aviat is a better radio. 4096 quam vs 2048 quam. (1.4gbps vs 1.2gbps) SFP+ ports vs SFP ports. So why is Cambium pricing the 820c at double the Aviat? Sounds like Cambium should be cheaper since the Aviat clearly has some advantages. -- AF mailing list

Yeah your insertion loss is going to kill the performance of the link, why may I ask are you trying to do this other than the obvious reason of not wanting to hang 2 antennas. Why not just get a more efficient radio for the link like Aviat? We just bough our first aviat link to replace an AF11
