A Radio Link sounds like a good option, keeping in view that you are needing
the link for rural areas. You don't also have to worry about the geography.
Although you wall be a bit limited by the bandwidth available via a Radio link
, still it's quite reliable compared to VSAT and ISDN ( if I am not wrong , it
rains heavily in Sri lanka and if you chose a Ku Band based VSAT , which you
will have to choose , your link will be down for half of the time ; and ISDN
is quite unbearable - keeping in view the bad telephone lines we have in India
and Sri Lanka ).
Leased Line would be a good idea if you can bear the cost. Still even if you
can afford the line, Radio Link is quite easy to install too; so a quick
activation time.
Hope this helps . Do ping me if you need more information.
cheers
