Aviat should not be $35K for an all-outdoor link, even with their dual core radios which you don’t need for 100 Mbps capacity.
The most discussed options on the list seem to be Aviat, SIAE and Cambium/Ceragon, maybe also Dragonwave. Any of them should come in under $20K for a link including antennas and license keys. You’re not talking something crazy like 12 ft dishes, are you?

They sent me a chart and the least expensive link was something on the order of $35k. They had 3 different models listed. All indoor, split, and all outdoor. AF11 is not in the picture. When I say less expensive, I mean something on the order of $20k or less for the link and antenna. So not super cheap.

Any licensed radio will do 100 Mbps. I don’t know about 6 nines, that’s a lot of nines. Obviously depends on your rain zone. If Aviat is too expensive for your budget, and given that you don’t need really high throughput, it sounds like a job for Ubiquiti AF11. I don’t have any of them, but it seems like a match for low price without industry leading modulation or spectral efficiency. Only downside is I think maybe you need to license both polarizations, so might be slightly more difficult to coordinate in a congested area. Which Aviat model were you looking at?

I have priced Ariat and I think they are out of my range. -- Lewis Bergman 325-439-0533 Cell -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Lewis Bergman 325-439-0533 Cell
