We have one link up a little over a mile away at ~900Mbps bidirectional without any issues for a little over a year. To say that it has weathered the storm this winter might be an understatement. Frequent cold snaps and dense ice fog haven't been a problem for these units. Looking at the links you sent, Lee - the Siklu units are a significantly smaller footprint that meet the 'smaller' requirement. But I think the Siklu is going to be your best bet for full-duplex gigabit performance, but more expensive. The Mimosa B24 (which is just coming out) is a smaller (1ft antenna) 24GHz unit (1.386Gbps), and likely will run you $4K for a pair, but half-duplex... The IgniteNet units I've heard have reliability problems. They do have integrated 5GHz failover, but its 2.5Gbps half-duplex throughput. If you want reliability and performance - go with the Siklu units. Just my 2¢.

He had nothing but great things to say about it. Considering his environment on the coast of California and the dense fog he frequently has, he has had no issues. I’m considering it as a possibility for some of our temporary PtP links until we can get fiber put in to certain locations. Robert’s using the AF-24 model and is getting ~700 Mbps throughput up and down. I believe the AF-24HD is supposed to get closer to the 1 Gbps up and down. The price seems reasonable, the features look robust, and the system is unlicensed. This might be another system to look at for your needs. We have an engineering lab that is doing research with the MetroLinq product, but their focus is not for distance PtP links, but for extremely short links and the ability to penetrate certain materials with the 60 GHz.

I need to replace a licensed Gig bridge on a short link with smaller/cheaper but still Gig. I know there are many options, but I’m looking for feedback specifically on two 60 GHz options: 1. IgniteNet MetroLinq https://www.ignitenet.com/products/metrolinq/ 2. Siklu EtherHaul -600 https://www.siklu.com/portfolio-posts/etherhaul-600-series-v-band/ Are any of you using either, and at what length? Anything good or bad to report from reliability, quirkiness, support, etc?
