<div dir="ltr"><div>There are promising advancements in outdoor 802.11ay based 60 GHz equipment (particularly the ones that can use the very top end of the 60 GHz band, directly underneath 71 GHz, which is less affected by rain and atmosphere than the rest of it). However, the stuff from Ubiquiti has been buggy and troublesome to put it in the mildest and most polite terms possible. Not something I would trust for production traffic. <br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 17, 2025 at 4:54 PM Brandon Butterworth <<a href="mailto:brandon-ml@bogons.net">brandon-ml@bogons.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 17/03/2025 23:45:16, "Eric Kuhnke via Starlink" <br>

Those are getting cheap, and especially cheap V band a lot better<br>
in range, speed, and reliability.<br>
<br>
Maybe the free space optics have got a lot better too, they<br>
used to unreliable due to atmospherics. Heat haze from roads<br>
plagued the ones we had.<br>
