For anyone curious the rundown is on their site already. It looks
slick as hell but that doesn't mean much.

Angle is pretty much solely dependent upon gain. So a typical
horn is about as good as the best patch array or a smaller
parabolic reflector. But they are worse than both in the
mechanical sense.
The higher the frequency the more practical horns become.

This is realy something I did not expect: They announce
Systems with Horn antennas.
A quite different approach. Their sectors are directional
antennas so coverage is not as good
as with traditional antennas (Their marketing argues the
opposite). But horn antennas
should have very low sidelobes, a good FB-Ratio and allow
small angles. So it should be possible
to make a more dense deployment.
What make me scare is the big opening where water and ice may
cause damage.
