Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like you are confusing cellular wireless with broadband fixed wireless. I think WinStar has plenty of case studies to prove reliability. How is somebody going to "eavesdrop" on a bbfw link? It transmits over a LOS path that is about 12" wide. If you are contending that rain fade is still an issue, let's have the evidence. Everything I have seen, at least for 38 GHz points to the contrary. When you can argue your points as compellingly and with as much support as someone say, like, Dr. Bernard Levy, then they will be worth paying attention to. Right now, you're coming off as misinformed at best.
