It will need perfect line of site. And won't deal with NLOS like most 2/5 ghz gear can. It's 24ghz.
They claim 15Km. Maybe in the desert.
In any climate with rain, Like our's here in Florida even 2 miles is going to be a stretch as 24ghz will rain fade easy. A great application for this would be like between two buildings requiring highspeed backhaul. (Were talking roof-top to roof-top of maybe a few thousand feet or more between them.

I've read that it requires perfect line of sight, which makes it sometimes tricky.
Thanks, -Drew

Yeah, I got this note the other day. I am very interested in hearing about folks experience with this hardware once it ships.
I almost posted it in the last-mile thread. Even compared to other hardware in the space the price-performance of it for the bitrate is amazing.
I also recommend watching the video they posted:

You are leaving out that it's an unlicensed band, so you can use this to have a decent backhaul to your house just by rigging it yourself on each end.
