Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] point to point wireless

Bruce, Google "laser wireless networks".  We have a couple of links where we use laser heads to connect a couple of buildings across the street from campus. They''ve been working great for about 10 years now.  They are expensive! You should be able to use a lowered powered laser which will save on costs. Fog, snow, etc. can affect their performance.  You could use a laser link as your main link with the 1300 bridge link as a failover.  Our links are 100M. You can purchase ones that'll do a gig. Rick Entwistle, Bruce wrote: We are currently using a pair of Cisco 1300 wireless bridges to connect some student residences to the campus network.  While these bridges have worked well we now need something which is capable of a higher speed connection without using multiple links.  The current distance between the two antennas is about 300 feet.  I was wondering what products others have used and how they performed.   Thank you Bruce Entwistle Network Manager University of Redlands   ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. -- Richard E.(Rick) Brown (919) 515-5489 office Network Systems Engineer (919) 515-1641 fax Communication Technologies email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] N.C.
