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?

Digest.

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.

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.

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

Wow! That is not cheap at all. What equipment are those so I can offer them to the client for comparison purposes?

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

Does it have to be wifi, of just a solution to bridge two network say like a wireless-bridge?
