Comment on Low-cost 60GHZ phased array antennaparent

Comments

In real world use if you want five nines availability of a 60 GHz link in Portland, OR, you need to keep the distance to about 700 meters or less. And it doesn't see really heavy rain showers (as Miami or Houston do), just constant drizzle. 300-400 meters max in Miami.

That's why lots of options are shipping with 5ghz failover.

Still not the best case to reduce bandwidth during heavy rain but at least it still works.
