Yeah, they made a big deal of their partnership with Quantenna, which a Google 
search tells me was acquired by ON Semi in 2019.  I have a feeling that ON 
wanted the designers not the products and maybe the chip Mimosa was using 
doesn’t exist anymore?  As I look at the chips in consumer WiFi gear I see 
Qualcomm and Mediatek but I never hear Quantenna.

Yeah, that was the Mimosa B11, it used an upconverted/modified wifi chipset, if 
I remember correctly.

Maybe I'm mixing it up with the Mimosa B11. One of them (the B11?), had some 
screwball licensing gymnastics. IIRC, it was something about tweaking an 
unlicensed chipset to operate at 11GHz? Memory fading...

No, the AF11 is full duplex (which is why Ubiquitil calls it 1.5Gbps, or 
whatever). The Mimosa B11 is the only half duplex 11ghz radio that I'm aware 
of... I'm not sure if they're still making those or not. They were the cheapest 
way to get a full gig in one direction on an 11ghz link (half duplex though, so 
roughly the same throughput as the AF11 if you're maxing out both directions), 
but they were trash.

Right. The AF11 is right around 700 Mbps, and it's also half duplex, 
which is a special kind of throttle. All the licensed radios that I know 
of (other than the AF11) do full duplex.
