You are correct, but ...... How about if the radio was able to transmit at a bit higher power and have a 5ghz failover builtin .... it is not going to go 5 miles, but practical range can be extended up to 1.5km
In addition to that, if the radios were under $1200 / link what would you think of additional possibilities ? How about a last few hundered feet, distribution (via a PTMP Sector) for a fiber to Neighborhood deployment ? how about 4K high def street cameras ? Video surveillance ? lots of interesting possibilities, and yes you are right this is not a LongHaul, or Medium Long Haul product. It is for short, fat links... :) Regards.
