I've read that it requires perfect line of sight, which makes it sometimes tricky.

Thanks,

        Yeah, I got this note the other day.  I am very interested in hearing about folks experience with this hardware 
once it ships.

        I almost posted it in the last-mile thread.  Even compared to other hardware in the space the price-performance 
of it for the bitrate is amazing.

        I also recommend watching the video they posted:

        You are leaving out that it's an unlicensed band, so you can use this to have a decent backhaul to your house 
just by rigging it yourself on each end.
