Lih-Er,
I agree with Daniel. His suggestion is solid, and probably the most
recommended solution (price and functionality - wise) - especially for a
production environment. I'm not sure lower cost equipment that can do WDS
bridging will have the range you desire (1000 feet). Apple's Airport
Extreme Base Station offers this feature in 802.11n a/b/g flavors. Apple's
HW also offers the ability to have up to 5 units in a "relay" or "remote"
setup topology.

Lih-Er,
We have used the Proxim Tsunami Quickbridge product for some time now and
are very happy with it. However, it's going to cost you at least twice what
you have budgeted.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Seeking recommendation for wireless bridge product
I need to bring network to a structure (2-story) in a field from a building
(about 1000 feet away, 7-story).
It does not need high bandwidth. I would like to hear any product
recommendation from you.
The budget range is under a $1000 for a pair of wireless bridge. I am more
concern about the reliability and security sides
of the product.
By the way, does anyone have experience with NanoStation5 from Ubiquiti
network? It is quite inexpensive ($160 a pair).
Thanks!
