Define perfect line of sight ? How is this different from any other wireless
link and the associated Fresnel zone ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone
Even 100 Mbit/s wireless equipment (which ubqt also happens to make great
gear for, at 800 USD / link) will need unobstructed view of the remote
point - and it's not all or nothing, the performance will degrade.
Cheers,
Phil
