“With 60 gigahertz, you can get much more bandwidth than previous versions. We’d been trying to run NDI over 5 Ghz, and the jittering always caused some frame drops. But now it was the right time to give Wi-Fi another go.”, Roberto Musso, MediaNews’ CEO/CTO and Technical Director at NDI/ Dr.NDI Discover how live broadcast NDI-based workflow featured a game-changing addition: a camera wirelessly connected over Wi-Fi to the director’s OB van.

Great use case, just make sure people don't get confused on the networking side and the fact that the 60 GHz is referring to the frequency that is being used to make the internet connection on the RF link. Amazing what you can do with Uniquiti and other reasonably cost equipment that is available now.
Sounds great for water sports. But isn't 60 GHz much more sensitive to obstacles, even just people? What's the maximum reliable distance between transmitter and receiver that you found?

1wJust to clarify, a 60 GHz microwave bridge is not Wi-Fi, it is a point to point microwave link, and assuming low interference it can sustain continuous data rates over 1gbps, more than enough for a 100+ Mbps NDI stream. It doesn’t have the jitter of Wi-Fi because it’s not a multi-access medium and depending on the equipment can be full duplex unlike Wi-Fi. And to answer Ignacio’s question, 60 gig will not go through people, buildings, heavy rain, or foliage, it is strictly line of site. I’ve personally built 60 Ghz shots well over a mile, but it suffers from significant atmospheric attenuation from oxygen. This is why it exists as an unlicensed band.
