It was a name similar to frontier. Maybe frontiera?

That is VTX I'd bet.

I don't know if they hang out here - but some really good engineers there.  
They bought RockSolid last year.

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.
