We do similar types of things with point to point wireless. We have also used directional antennas to blast an area from a distance.
There are also wireless mesh products that let you provide wireless backhaul. We have some on the shelf in case we need them for something like this. We have also strung long, temporary fiber cables in some cases.

We use a couple of Cisco Aironet 1310s, with appropriate antennas, to
bridge short distances across campus. On the other end you can setup
wireless or even connect another switch if you want wired connections.

Since we do not have wireless everywhere, nor do we have wired
connectivity in some remote locations, what I usually do to "bridge a
gap" is set up a couple of access points as a bridge between a wired
port and the remote location. Then I connect a switch to the remote AP
and can support a few stations. This is typically a short term solution,
usually for some special
1-2 day event, but it can work long term as well.

Not exactly a prime "ResNet" question, but perhaps some of your
networking folks have run into this before...
Has anyone else had to deal with "can you provide network access at
[some obscure location with no infrastructure] for [some special event]"
projects?
Especially recurring ones?
We have traditionally had our long ethernet jumpers and/or spool of
cable/terminators/crimp tool approach with duct tape and bailing wire,
but it seems like surely there is a better manufactured solution
(ethernet switch / APs on a retractable
spool?) similar to the little retractable cables for laptops, just on a
bigger scale.
Trying to eliminate those last-minute cable testing for the broken
termination and other esoteric errors that always seem to surface in
these cases.
