The antenna is the easy part, the case and mounting are more difficult
and expensive. Tooling alone for a new antenna case is easily $10K+.

Yup. They have an array of metal circles on a board connected to each
other by traces.
What about a cheaper external antenna? The price to beat is $120.

Yeah, that will be an array of patches inside. Hard to couple to with
any efficiency.

Like a 45 slant 15dbi panel.
a 10" x 10" diamond with flattened corners.

What does the CPE look like?

I want to narrow the radiation pattern on Wimax CPE in order to
reduce interference. Higher gain is a bonus, but mostly I want to
tune out interference from other base stations and thereby improve
CINR.
Right now all I've got is I can put an external antenna on with coax
jumpers. A dish with a significantly narrower pattern than the
integrated panel is $120-$140 from KP Performance, plus the cost of
the coax jumpers and the labor to seal them.
I'm really missing the Canopy stingers and reflectors right now. If
I could slip something on for $50 I'd be all over it like white on
rice. I'd also just settle for a cheaper external antenna.
Any brilliant ideas?
