This is from some guy named Todd that was looped in by Ken who I contacted to
start with.

Who did you talk to at Aviat? Ken Ruppel is the main contact for WISPs. I can
share his email off list if you want.
We're mostly utilizing SIAE today. Working in a couple Aviat links soon just
to have some vendor diversity. Both fall well within your budget.

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?

I don't know which model it was. 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.

13 km is around 8 miles so you’re looking at 6 or 11 GHz, probably 11.
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?

So Guru's,
Is there a favorite backhaul link for licensed links about 13KM long that
will yield 5 or 6 9's and at least 100Mbs. I have priced Ariat and I think they
are out of my range.
