Mikrotiks rock, use n-streme for this long distances and you will be amazed with their latency and data rates.Anybody try the R52n by the way
With Mikrotik, i think i have done 5KM with 2-10ms latency on CLOS - its still running for an year now. That means if you just require bridging and not necessarily wifi (/limit) you can take that. The distance between KAWANGWARE and UTHIRU is how many km?

2009/6/17 Brian Lusiola <lusiola@gmail.com>Mikrotik only sell 5ghz panels, i.e no omni, no 2.4ghz but with the correct mix and match of equipment I believe you can achieve 8km on CLOS.2009/6/17 Alex Ngatia <alex.ngatia@gmail.com>
Actually, Mikrotiks are what came to mind first having dealt with them in my previous job, but their website is scarce with info. Emily I will get back to you once I have the go ahead.
@Denis I was trying to remember winlink. I have dealt with it and is a pretty good product.
Thanks all for the suggestions.On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 9:39 AM, Denis G. Wahome <dwahome@gmail.com> wrote:

I know Mikrotiks do a great job at that. Am actually surprised that they did not much up to your expectations.

Alex,
Are you at liberty to disclose what you mean by cheap?
Most of the equipment I am familiar with for this type of setup are usually about 500k. But those are the ones i am familiar with.
Also make sure that you have checked all obstacles that you may come across before hand, especially RF Interference which can lead to loss of your investment.

@Stan let me check out their site
@Denis A bridge sounds about right, not necessarily wifi but just cheap means of connecting the two sites via wireless equipment
