What about a couple of 60GHz links with a single 5GHz AP as a backup? We did this for a bank that needed to connect two buildings temporarily. Put a MT on either side that ran IPSEC tunnel over the link with a failover script to route traffic over the 5 GHz link if the 60 lost more than 50% of it's packets. The 5 GHz was slower, but they still had connectivity in the even of a heavy rain.
