Yes, they are a pain to align. Our recent experience in aligning the Metrolinq (beta/test) unit confirms that. Even though they provided us with scopes to assist. bit it still required a lot of patience and very slow fine adjustments.
As to the band becoming a commodity, that is the best part about this band. Since 60ghz-80ghz don't go far, pencil thin beam width and the signals attenuate with distance (oxygen absorption) , an angular separation of 5-10deg and or separation of a few feet or so, allows for channel reuse. Plus there is a large swath of spectrum available. All of these features, make them an ideal choice for short distance fat pipe deployment. Don't expect 60ghz to go thru anything, such a walls, have not tested Glass...so they all need a good LOS. (the beamforming, self steering antennas in consumer devices for this band become very important ). I am excited to see the new chip set developments, which is making new products in this band at a very different price point possible. Regards.
