As a follow up. I did do a test run with the Ubiquiti Bullets and set up a WDS
link in their software and successfully carried 802.11q Trunk VLANs across the
link between two Cisco switches.

I have been testing some of the new Ubiquiti Products for a "point to point"
application. Specifically the new Bullet5 product. So far I have been impressed
with their abilities but have just used them in a test setup so far. They have
a very good price point. They are new enough that they are somewhat hard to
find and have no long term history although the company has been in the
Wireless ISP provider area for some time. Are current bridges are using Cisco.

Lih-Er,
Considering your budget, you could:
Acquire two linksys WRT54GL and load open-wrt, then use the WDS protocol,
(2.4 GHz only!!!)
or get two Proxim AP-4000 (Ebay has good deals on those), use WDS and
enable the turbo mode.
The Proxim has two radios. So we usually use one radio (the 5 Ghz) for
bridging
to the small structure and the other radio (2.4 GHz) for Wi-Fi coverage.
The bridge will pass multiple VLANs!

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.

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!
