Sure- I’m using all the available channels in this one location for those 24 
GHz AirFIbers.

Hi Lee,

Your comment "but I need to frequency-coordinate what’s a fairly busy mounting 
location" seems to imply you think there are fewer frequency options with 
Airfiber than competitors. Could you clarify your opinion on that? We've also 
begun to consider future options such as airfiber for fairly busy mounting 
locations but have no experience with it as yet.

Thanks

+1 for the AirFiber (AF24HD) units. 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¢.

Lee,

I talked to Robert Boardman at WLPC about the Ubiquiti AirFiber24. 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.

Thanks,
Brad

Apologies to those of you who will get this twice.

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?

Thanks very much,

Lee Badman
