Your most difficult part might be finding vendors that actually (not just say) manufacturer equipment for the band and then of course stock it.
SAF for the record does both - and we work with both of the major spectrum holders in the US (FiberTower and Straight Path). In fact, we have a strategic partnership with Straight Path where you can purchase our equipment and a 5 year license together: https://www.saftehnika.com/en/news/2014#news-344 Performance wise it will be a little bit less than 23GHz. So it will still be a short range frequency but frequency coordination can happen as quick as 24 hours so time to deploy is awesome. Back in my ISP days 38GHz was a key part of our network. Of course those were different times (spectrum congestion wasn't the issue, but we got a lot of 38GHz gear on the cheap (thanks WinStar!) and the license costs were still very low. 38/39GHz (depending on who you talk to) is a very popular frequency band for SAF in Germany specifically, but we also sell a considerable amount of it in the US and Canada. We maintain the band as an in stock product here. Integra (our latest product) will be shipping in 38GHz in the next few weeks. If you have more questions... I'm happy to discuss!

If it's readily available in my area, while the FCC bands are quite congested, would there be anything in particular to compel me to keep away from it and figure out how to use one of the other FCC regulated bands (11, 18 and 23)? Thanks - Jack
