We use Solecktek wireless bridges here and they are very reliable. The bridges we have can run at a max of 100 Mbps but they have units that can run at 1 GB.

Hi folks, Have about 10 building on a campus. They are currently connected with fiber from a main hub. The fibers run through tunnels. The buildings all contain clients (and VOIP phones), with no servers. All the servers are in main building, and all traffic comes through here. The tunnels are old, and there is talk of collapsing them. I’m thinking of possibly putting up line-of-sight antennas on each building as a way of connecting. Distances would be < 300 meters. My question is. Is there wireless fast enough for this? Right now the fiber is running 1 GBs (62.5 Um). I would need to have communications be at least this fast, if not faster. If this is not feasible/possible, there is a possibility of running pipe in the current tunnels, and pulling new fiber (50 Um) (which I’m thinking of doing anyway, to get faster speed), then these pipes will be buried when the tunnels are collapsed. Upgrading this in the future would be tedious. Other ideas are welcome.
