70 and 80 GHz RF performance is going to be a lot better than 60 GHz. ^0 GHz has a heavy attenuation due to the oxygen molecules being resonant at the frequency, move up high in the spectrum past that resonance and RF performance improves. So don’t necessarily assume if 60 GHz didn’t work 70 or 80 won’t either. 70/80 Ghz is kind of light licensed so you will have to deal with that but it’s not as bad as 11 or 18 GHz.

I guess a realistic option might be to split the 24ghz link to two hops as well, which should easily get the availability I want, and then bond it to a 60ghz link to add capacity... Speaking of bonding, it looks like the Siklu 2x00 series only has 1Gbps ports... so I'm assuming to get full capacity I would have to bond two ports together? They aren't doing like Ubiquiti and calling 1Gbps full duplex 2Gbps are they?
