Angle is pretty much solely dependent upon gain.  So a typical horn is about as 
good as the best patch array or a smaller parabolic reflector.  But they are 
worse than both in the mechanical sense.  

The higher the frequency the more practical horns become.

This is realy something I did not expect: They announce Systems with Horn 
antennas.

A quite different approach. Their sectors are directional antennas so coverage 
is not as good

as with traditional antennas (Their marketing argues the opposite). But horn 
antennas

should have very low sidelobes, a good FB-Ratio and allow small angles. So it 
should be possible

to make a more dense deployment.

What make me scare is the big opening where water and ice may cause damage.
