FSO is a huge pain in the ass and unreliable at 500 to 600 meters. The Bridgewave GE60 and GE60X, similar products, work very well at 500-650 meters (in a Seattle or Vancouver rain zone) and are actually five nine reliable statistically over a year.
There are a lot of upcoming 60 GHz products which will be fantastic for rooftop-to-rooftop shots in dense urban cores. I'm talking about places where trenching new fiber costs $300 a foot, it could easily cost $180,000 to $300,000 to link two buildings, but you can do a 1 Gbps shot for well under $10k.
