I would use an 80ghz SIAE or Siklu and a 5ghz whatever flavor you prefer
as a backup. 80ghz should be good for that distance easily with 2' antennas.

That would do the job, but I'm not sure I'd call it something better
than a Rocket, since it's going to be more or less the same guts
(well, as an AC Rocket)... but the ones we have up have been pretty
solid.
Power consumption on UBNT spec sheets tends to be a bit on the high
side, in my experience (which it should, I guess, since it's listing
the max)... an AF5x would use a bit more power, but not a lot -
they're typically under 10 watts.

Then do a 24 GHz system. That can go 2-1/2 miles with 5 nines. Low
interference. Will eat around 50 watts at each end though.

Seems a bit too long range for that freq.
Worried about not enough time has elapsed to prove them out.
They sound expensive.
Everybody knows 60 GHz is all absorbed by the oxygen anyhow...
Not sure God would approve...
You all the same normal reasons...

For so little throughput a 5GHz setup would be the cheapest and
probably best setup.
What keeps you from being a believer of the 60GHz? I can show you
the history of some of my Ignitenet links that may just change
your mind.
Thank you,

Not a believer yet. And we only need 100-250 Mbps max to the

Want it to be simple too. ONT has multiple ethernet ports on
it. Just extend those physical layer 0/1 connections.

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.

Still puzzling over how to get ethernet the last 3000 feet.
I have fiber to a point along a rural road. The end is
about 2000 feet from one home and 3000 feet from another.
Was looking at using the existing copper with VDSL line
extenders. That was what that week of math problems was all
about. I am starting to lean away from that solution
because it is old copper. I really want to stop using it.
I don’t have a ROW that is legal. The old copper
technically is in trespass and the owner of the property is
known to be a major PITA. So not sure if I can get
permission. Even then, we are talking about 5000 feet of
fiber to place. There will be some money involved.
Using wireless could be much cheaper. Will have to do a
solar install with the ONT and RF gear on a stub pole at the
handhole.
Not sure what kid of RF. Don’t want to use an AP because I
need two layer 2 connections from the ONT. Be more
expensive to use an AP anyhow. So two PTP systems. Rock
solid, never fail type of system. Noise floor down there is
probably pretty low.
I could use a pair of rockets etc. Not wanting to lo-ball
this, want it to be very solid.
What would you use?
