1. A communication network, comprising:
a plurality of nodes configured into a wireless millimeter-wave dual-ring network topology, wherein at least one of the nodes is configured to send and receive millimeter-wave signals through an obstruction that attenuates the millimeter-wave signals and includes:
a first configurable phased array antenna to transmit a first millimeter-wave signal through the obstruction;
a controller, coupled to the first configurable phased array antenna, for steering the first millimeter-wave signal;
a second configurable phased array antenna to receive a second millimeter-wave signal through the obstruction; and
wherein the first phased array antenna and the second phased array antenna are each configured, respectively, to mitigate path loss experienced by the first and second millimeter-wave signals passing through the obstruction.
