Ha I said I engineered it. Never said I went onsite :-D

No one with any common sense thinks “five nines wireless” and long range millimeter wave. Period. I agree with you 100%. But… For instance – I engineered a BridgeWave link at 10 miles for the US Air Force at White Sand Missile Range that was for a remote area that needed 1Gbps (no microwave solutions at that time could do it). Since they were playing with lasers, they told me they would never be onsite if there was so much as a cloud in the sky. To them, it worked “five nines”. Travis Johnson also had an 18GHz link at 35 miles that worked great for him for a number of years in his WISP. That would be against the book too. Proper engineering and understanding the mission requirements are critical to great engineering.

There is a big difference between marketing materials and production reality with five nines 80 GHz.
