3 miles _non_ direct line-of-site.
Line-of-sight hasn't been tested by Rice.
There's just little reason because of their focus.

They are building a metropolitan network, meshed with density.
Not a long trunk or run.
That means their focus is interference.

E.g., different radios are of different channels -- meaning it uses
different super-channels to connect to different neighbors.
