Given the limitations on 60 GHz this will be a *very* short distance solution, if it works at all... The rain fade at 60 GHz is extreme, which is why it's unlicensed compared to the "light license" system for PTP 80 GHz.
In ITU rain zone D the max distance I use 60 GHz PTP at is 500 to 575 meters. That's with a 25cm parabolic antenna on each end. I'm talking about radios like the Bridgewave GE60 and similar. Even at that distance the link will only have an availability over one year of around five nines, not six nines, and WILL drop out once or twice a year in super heavy rain burst events. 60 GHz is an excellent solution for a line rate FDD 1 Gbps PTP bridge, which is indistinguishable from a router-to-router OSPF adjacency perspective from a 1 Gbps fiber patch cable. Unless you're in a major city with tall towers & market demand that will support $500/MRC+ customer services, I don't see how 60 GHz PTP would be very useful from a rural or suburban WISP perspective. Fiber fed radios on rooftops in downtown Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, sure. Not so useful for a typical rural WISP like somewhere 75 miles outside Boise.
