WISP or other options

Yeah.. If you have an extra 10k per radio. Free Space Optics are
everything but free. Lol

And attenuation at 80ghz is going to be heavy.. When I say heavy.. I
mean.. A fart will cause a fade if you?re close enough to the tx. ;)

I would not recommend FSO for anyone with less than an ultra black belt in
RF. They are such a bxtch to get lined up and running, you could be
hanging out on site for a week trying to figure out why your path isn?t
aligned. It is not for the feint hearted.

Sharks with laser beams on their friggin? head, probably.
