60 GHz PtMP at 1-3 miles? I want some of whatever you're smoking because it must be some primo stuff. If you put up a few 500 to 800 meter distance 60 GHz PTP links and monitor them over a multi month period, you'll see that you really don't want to go much longer than that. I can't imagine that the gain of the Ignitenet 60 GHz sector antenna is much better than a typical 25, 30 or 60cm parabolic antenna used for 60 GHz PTP stuff.
If I had to guess the 60 GHz PtMP will be reliable at distance of more like 400-500 meters, tops, with properly aimed CPEs.
