WISP industry adopted antenna technologies from cellular industry - this was probably the single biggest mistake bringing WISP networks to the brink of collapse nearly every day. While traditional patch array sectors have their use cases, RF elements horn antennas offer unmatched network scalability and sustainable throughput growth path.

The sidelobes (SLs) of patch array antennas (https://youtu.be/zn4sNHfmSF0) propagate RF signal into unintended directions, as well as receive it from them. Despite SLs amplitude is much smaller than the main lobe, the amount of devices deployed in 5 GHz band renders the SLs lethal to the wireless networks in the long run. The effects of SLs (https://youtu.be/-8cqPkhExcE) are already obvious today - unstable throughput, unstable connection, sensitive network overall, unsatisfied customers, endless service runs WISPs undertake, etc.

Prevention is better than the cure - we all know that. In this case, the prevention is to avoid using antennas with SLs altogether. This is where RF elements horn antenna technology comes in. No SLs = lower noise floor  (https://youtu.be/1TYW7T6X2_k) = higher signal SNR = higher overall throughput. As simple as that.
