        Define perfect line of sight ? How is this different from any other wireless
        link and the associated Fresnel zone ?

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone

        Even 100 Mbit/s wireless equipment (which ubqt also happens to make great
        gear for, at 800 USD / link) will need unobstructed view of the remote
        point - and it's not all or nothing, the performance will degrade.

        Cheers,
        Phil
