Each frequency band is different hardware for licensed radios. So 6 GHz is totally different from 11 GHz, etc.
A split architecture radio might have a common modem, but the ODU will be different. The modem is probably operating at some baseband or IF frequency. But for all-outdoor licensed radios, it’s not just an antenna change. And different sub bands might require different diplexers.

I notice other licensed backhaul vendor radios are available in wide ranges of frequencies, like the Cambium PTP 820C in 6-38GHz range, do they just swap external antennas for best propagation characteristics, or do they also swap RF sections of the radios themselves? I guess the question really is how fast they could tool up, which related to how expensive that would be for them. What all has to change to make 6Ghz unlicensed work?

The Cambium (and likely Ubiquiti) UNI-III 5.8 equipment will work in the STA frequencies. The 6Ghz proposal is well outside of the design frequencies for the UNI-III band and will likely require different hardware.
