I could see Vivint making it work with LoS installations every few houses.
Not at scale in downtown Boston though.

I cannot understand now anyone that has worked in this space thinks 60
GHz is good for PMP.
Perhaps on the moon or in the sahara from a tower.

Vivint started off with a bunch of college guys telling them how easy
it was to build their own equipment and it went downhill from there.
Right now they are just floundering trying to figure out what to do
next. They really don’t have a plan or a clue. $50M dollars, poof.

I wonder if Vivint’s new 60GHz plans are based on similar “millimeter
wave band active phased array technology”
--
On September 21, 2015, the board of directors of the Company approved
a plan to transition Vivint’s wireless internet business from a 5Ghz
to a 60Ghz-based network technology that provides higher data
transmission speeds. The Company will continue to service its existing 5Ghz
subscribers.
As a result of this transition, the Company will discontinue the
build-out of additional 5Ghz networks and the installation of new 5Ghz
customers.
Vivint expects the shift to the new technology will begin with a set
of 60Ghz test installations in 2016. During the three months ended
September 30, 2015, the Company recorded wireless internet-related
restructuring and asset impairment charges totaling $58.0 million.
These charges included
$52.1 million of asset impairment charges related to write downs of
network assets, subscriber acquisition costs, certain intellectual
property and goodwill. The $58 million charge also included $5.9
million in restructuring costs related to employee severance,
termination benefits and the write offs of certain vendor contracts.

Boston.
I can’t see how this service is going to MIMO it’s way around all the
corners and buildings downtown to get at the window CPE’s at those
higher frequencies.
Maybe it’s magic, I don’t know.

That article almost makes you think the fancy router is the real play here.
Also, in case it wasn’t already posted, here is the FCC application:
