One theory would be that you’re reserving a ton of spectrum and could replace it in the future with a super duper Aviat config that would utilize all those channels and polarizations. Seems unlikely if it’s just to one customer for a year though.
On the other hand, if it’s from one of your towers to the customer, you could be hurting yourself in the future if you want to coordinate additional 11 GHz links off that tower. And technically you probably aren’t meeting the FCC minimum bandwidth utilization requirement, unlikely to get caught though. And if you’re using 2 ft dishes, and in the future someone else can’t coordinate a link because you used so much spectrum, they can force you to upgrade to 3 ft Cat A dishes.

It's certified. If there's no one else using it by now, in 2025, clearly it's not limited in that area.

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.

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.
