The licensed microwave offers a lot of advantages when it comes to wireless backhaul. However, the biggest detractor is the fact that you have to figure out how to actually license it with the FCC and, of course, pay for the license. That cost can certainly add a lot of your overall project.
This can vary somewhat, but if an FCC-approved Frequency Coordinator is used, the time frame is generally 30 days. In coordination with Canada or Mexico required, this can add up to six weeks to the time.
License fees are per site 40000/- and valid for 10 years. Application fees vary
