Using very high gain antenna you can do PTP links of around 1 mile (as mentioned in the article) at 60GHz. If you search you will find plenty of available equipment out there for doing 1-2Gbps PTP links at 60GHz. How good your range will really be depends on how much reliability you need and the precipitation characteristics of your deployment. Of course 90GHz is even better, as getting away from Oxygen absorption wavelength more than offsets the increase in frequency. Some of that gear can do 2 miles.

I think you mean short range rather than long range? Oxygen Absorption limits the range for 60GHz. This is actually an advantage as you can reuse the frequency on other links at closer proximity than would be possible at other frequencies.
