I assume you would have line of sight? what kind of bandwidth requirements?
I imagine if you're running this off solar, power consumption is a relatively important consideration. If noise isn't an issue, I'd probably lean towards airFiber 5X... certainly lots of other options at that kind of distance though 70/80ghz, 24ghz even 60ghz would probably be worth looking at.
