A couple notes... Because this is a Dragonwave thread, I'd recommend that you contact CharlesWu at cticonnect.com, I've been very pleased with his assistance in the past on Licensed.
As for 11ghz dish size... The requirements are not size, it is gain characteristics of the dish. In most cases only a 4 ft dish demonstrated those characteristics. There is a 2.5ft dish on the market that DOES meet the requirements to be equivellent of a typical 4ft dish. If you need this 2.5ft dish, it will also effect your selection of gear, as some manufactyurers require use of a specific dish, based on the mounting and waveguide methods to be compatible. Take note that it is now legal to use smaller dishes, based on recent lobbying and FCC decission, but it is on a secondary basis that gives priority to the users of larger 4ft dishes. If you deploy smaller than the 2.5ft full spec'd dish, you should fully inform your self with exactly what that means, as far as rights you have under the license. With that said, we have been very pleased with our Trango 18Ghz Licensed gear. They are shipping 11Ghz stuff now also, and definately worth a look, if you have not yet made a purchasing decission.
