Huge canopy install going on there.  I don’t think the company is Frontier but 
something similar.

in the area.  https://cobainternet.com/

  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.
