It might make good popcorn if its adjusted right LOL

Well, maybe 60GHz room to room might make a decent extender as well

I think UBNT should make an Amplifi HD HD with 802.11ad and ac, lol!

Sorry, a bit late on the reply on this one...
With beamforming antennas, you might be surprised what it can
accomplish in-room even at knee level. I like your idea. 60GHz
bounces off of walls and other objects very well.

Yes, that sounds about right.
Taking a closer look at the properties of 802.11ad, maybe they
need to make a “thin” device for each room with Ethernet.
Something like an in wall (1Gang) unit that has POE from the
central location, a GigE Ethernet port and a thin 6’ flat cable
with a small 60GHz array at the end that sticks on the wall.
Then you could get that antenna up higher for LOS in the room
without using a ceiling AP?

I think the idea is that 11ad will be opportunistic offload. For
enterprise it makes a lot of sense because you have dense users
and ceiling mounted APs. For home it is a little more challenging
because you would need one in each room that you want to "offload"
to 60GHz.
The applications where 60ghz makes sense is where you would think
seriously about using a wire (where you need high bandwidth, low
latency - basically a wire experience). Video streaming, gaming,
that sort of stuff would be the low-hanging fruit.

I've been using a 60GHz HDMI bridge for several years between
the AV
gear and the projector. Works great unless the cat sits on it
because
it's warm.
