Anyone that can afford name brand high capacity unlicensed PTPs can afford
60Ghz.
You can go 1/2 mile for under $10,000 with Proxim. Financed over 3 years
will allow it to be paid for with the first T1 customer.
The problem is back hauling it :-) Not all WISPs will be in the position to
do that. Also take note that the metrix on shortest hop routing may no
longer be applicable. A 5 hop GB network at 2miles each may be faster path
than the 10 miles 10mbps backhaul. But what happens the .5% of the time
when the GB gets marginal? and the backup slower 10 mile links perform
better? And what happens when the link is only as fast as the weakest link
in a 5 hop path? It very well may take smarter routing to handle the job
than just OSPF, depending on the SLA one needs to deliver. Because capacity
and packet loss are the metrix that need to be considered most.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Is anyone thinking about 17 and 60 ghz?
Mark,
I think 60 Ghz is a good solution if you can afford it. At this point it
is still not in the price range of the average WISP but it is great stuff.
I think Matt Liotta had a link or 2 with some 60 Ghz gear.

In the search for the bigger last mile pipe, there's unlicensed at both
17 and 60 ghz. I'm not sure if the consumer electronics industry is "up"
for working at 60 ghz, but what about 17 ghz?
Google gets me a lot of theoretical work at both, and engineering
discussions of both, but nothing that looks like something otehr than
"talkware".
