I know of members in TAUG - who has achieved two way communication with clear line of site, using nothing but off the shelf Linksys routers and dish antemma's - having achieved 80+ KM range. Their only complaint was its was a royal pain the the behind, to aim properly. Basic geometry and the assistance of GPS equipment and measurements got the antenna's to be aligned on a clear line of sight. What I've been told is the margin of error with the consumer dish antennas is a mere 3 degrees conical beam.

I have also been advised that a TP-LINK grid antenna (2.4GHz 24dBi parabolic grid antenna TL-ANT2424B) with clear line of sight - with a 2.4GHz outdoor CPE (TP-LINK CPETL-WA5210G) -- tested on an open farm has the potential to reach 50+ KMs. The product itself features its built in integrated antenna that has the capacity to reach 15 KM.

Though $150 per end for a turnkey solution, I think the Ubiquiti is the best bang for the buck, given its capabilities. I've read some good reviews about them but never tried it. Now that you've mentioned some local WISPS are using this, I'm going to get me a pair of those to play with!

Cheers!
Reza.

Yes although you will need a good line of Site/Fresnel, depending on whats between the two sites noise wise you may opt for a different frequency radios to ensure you have good success.

If you've not done alot of wireless deploys, its probably worth pony'ing up for a survery to ensure you have a workable line of site. (physical vs Fresnel is not the same thing)

http://www.ubnt.com if you want to browse there gear (1.4gigbit radios aka airfibre, comming too), there are a couple canadian wisps heavily using there gear which you can always lean on for quick answers.

Regards,

Phil.

Will that work reliably over that sort of distance. Another brand I've work with is Ceragon, but IIRC, the requirements are a bit beyond the gear I've worked with.
