Sounds like a possible candidate for some of the last mile wireless equipmen=
t available. The problem is the wireless equipment may cost more than the p=
unch to the face and gut. How much bandwidth are you talking? You're looki=
ng at somewhere around $16k for a 300 Mbps Motorola PTP 800 solution at 18 o=
r 23 GHz. BridgeWave has some 1 Gbps stuff out there for about $30k at 80 G=
Hz, but falls out during very heavy rains at 2 miles link distance. BridgeW=
ave just recently announced some 1 Gbps radio links at 18 and 23 but that's a=
ll I know about them.
