Have a look at this comparison: http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/airmax_comparison.pdf. In a short run like yours I would probably lean toward the Nano Loco M5, simply because range will not be an issue, so you will want to maximise throughput and minimise cost. Noise is quite unlikely to be a problem in the 5GHz band, but you could upgrade to the Nanobridge M5 if you`re concerned about it. Be sure to use surge protection at both ends, such as shielded cable and ends. My one caveat when choosing outdoor equipment is to check the operating temps for your environment. The Ubiquiti parts vary from -40C to -20C on the low end of the rated scale, greatly narrowing the selection in colder climates (although I have some Rockets, rated to -30, that never missed a bit though -35). This setup, for a few hundred dollars in hardware, should give you 100mbps or better of low-latency (2 ms) throughput and excellent uptimes. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
