Read again. You answered thinking about AirFiber 24, while he mentioned AirFiber 5, which goes much longer.
Ah. I assumed that you were talking about the 24 GHz version, because we rejected the 5 GHz radio the moment we scanned the data sheet. It does not meet our standards for antenna gain or spectral efficiency. The 5 GHz band is in heavy use in our area (not only by us, but by many others). Such a radio simply couldn't survive in our RF environment. And even if by some miracle it could, the 5 GHz band is far too valuable for us to devote so much spectrum to a single backhaul. We use other bands and better equipment for high capacity point-to-point links. --Brett Glass
