Without violating any manufacturer's NDA, this is the tip of an iceberg, the Russians just happen to be publishing info a tiny bit earlier than the other 80 GHz radio manufacturers. There are 10GbE 256QAM FDD radios in development and field testing from all of the significant players in the industry.
I would expect the 'new' 5Gbps to 10Gbps radios to ship in the US at a price point under $20k per link including antennas, which will occupy the price tier previously occupied by the 1Gbps high-powered 80 GHz stuff that began shipping 3.5 to 4 years ago. Then you have the lower powered less expensive 80 GHz stuff like Siklu which has a max Tx power of +8 or +10 and will come down further from its already-low price under $10k/link.
