That price is in the same ball park as Ceragon. The Ceragon gear I've worked with has lower bandwidth, but greater range. (18 Mb/s @ 35 Km IIRC)

Phil,

Thanks for the info on Ubiquiti .

Seems they have a great bunch of engineers ( who worked on the Motorola Canopy system ). The AirFibre looks awesome. 1500 for both ends ( http://www.ubnt.com/store/airfiber/airfiber_24 ) and 1.4 Gbps over 13+km. Just need an available date.

        I know of members in TAUG - who has achieved two way
        communication with clear line of site, using nothing but off

        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.


    While it may be possible to do this with consumer level gear, one
    has to look at the whole picture?  Is this for a business?  If so,
    it may be better to go with equipment designed for the job, rather
    than going for lowest cost.  I had mentioned to brands of
    microwave hardware that are designed for this sort of task.  They
    are physically much more rugged than consumer gear, so as to stand
    up to wind etc.  They also have significant protection against
    lightning induced surges.  While it may be OK to go cheap for
    personal use, when you have business use and potential liability
    on the line, going cheap may be the wrong way to go.
