Wow - there is a lot to take in!
I love the Rocket M format - no messing with boards, cards, standoffs, boxes.

Antennas do H-Pol
FANTASTIC
:D :D :D :D
We only use H-pol to stay away from Canopy (haha) and BreezeVL (haha).
Electrical downtilt too! You really have some innovative stuff here.

Shipping from China? So 2-3 weeks before people like Streakwave and Microcomm see it?

I believe they are bieng air shipped, so less then one week.

Actually, when using the MIMO sectors, is it necessary to select a channel that is clean on both V and H polarities? Does it use one master channel and one adjacent extension channel, or what?

Hello,
Yes you would want it clean on both polarities as a large chain signal mismatch > 10-15dB can cause degraded performacen (essentially locking the units down to Bullet M single chain speeds).
When in 40Mhz it uses one Master Channel with an adjacent extension channel. 20Mhz does not use an extension channel.

Where it says on the Airmax flyer "Up to 300 subscribers per sectored base station", how many per Rocket M AP is achievable?
1) In terms of maximum the protocol will handle (marketing max)
2) In terms of maximum to give good performance/latency

Hello,
1) 300 is about the max the process/protocol will handle at this point in time. Please be aware this is for very low bandwidth per customer.
2) This all depends upon the service you are offering your customers. In a lot of 3rd world countries people are loading up the AP with customers but only provide ISDN type speeds.

So the client doesn't need to be TDMA AirMax capable for base station to handle up to 300? clients have to be 802.11n at least or b/g is ok also? if so, any laptop can connect, this is critical

No...no...no.
Only AirMax units are fully compatible with each other. Stick any other 8021.11a/b/g radio in the network, and you'll loose AirMax functionality.
Edited to clarify...
8021.11a/b/g radios will still work, but any "M" clients will loose the AirMax advantage.
No...no...no.

That would only be achieved by switching off AirMax on the AP surely though?!

Totally right! But the best thing about TDMA it's take advantage of it.
I know that every one want to migrate his existing networking doing some king of interoperability but it's a choice to take.
I will prefer to setup a new AP in each site for that.

We are now offering "Up to 3M" and "Up to 5M" to our residential customers. This was done by upgrading all APs to 411AH boards and XR5 cards and upgrading a few backhauls similarly.
I am looking forward to getting into the Airmax gear where we don't have to worry about boards, boxes, pigtails, PCB stand-offs, etc. anymore.
As far as bandwidth goes, I can see this platform allowing a 10M (contended/oversubscribed) residential service or more.
