We have been using multiple Ruckus 7731 bridges across our campus and they have been rock solid and dead simple to configure. We recently got in some of their new P300's but haven't had a chance to deploy them.

The testing site is CCTV intensive and we see ~300Mbps across this link very reliability pretty much all day long. We also push standard network and VoIP traffic across the link. For the price, they are pretty hard to beat. If I were purchasing them again today, I would consider the AirFiber 24 instead for the increased throughput. I would estimate we are shooting about 300yds, and no doubt they would work well at much greater distance. They come with built in GPS locating mechanisms and support AES encryption. We power them with a set of Ubiquity POE injectors and surge suppressors. http://www.ispsupplies.com/brands/airFiber/Ubiquiti-AF24.html http://www.ispsupplies.com/brands/airFiber/Ubiquiti-airFiber-5.html Thanks, Chris Adams, CISSP Director, Network & Telecom Services Division of Information Technology University of North Georgia E-Mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | Office: (706) 867-2891 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Entwistle, Bruce Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 12:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] point to point wireless bridge We have been running a pair of Bridgewave GE60 units for several years to link to some remote buildings. We recently learned that these units are reaching/reached EOL, so it is time to begin looking at replacing this hardware. I was looking to see what others have used for this type of link. The distance between the two units is about 200 feet and the bridge units are connecting to 1Gb ports on the switches at each end.
