1) Need directional (outdoor) antennas 2) Need an AP to "Bridge" 802.11. You can purchase Lucent's (Avaya) 802.11 bridge kit for 1300.00 + one extra for office #3. 3) Question, is this line of sight? Any obstacles? The whole kit and caboodle should cost you 2400.00 for (3) locations. That was my budget on a project similar to yours. Things to consider. (3) Directional ( I just like Yagi's ) (3) Bridged! Access Points (3) Pigtails and cable feed to antenna Enclosures for your APs if needed for outdoor use. Make sure it will endure weather, cooling, and bugs. Power over Ethernet for your APs if they are going to be strung out onto the roof. Netstumbler on you laptop to help adjust antenna angles. Goto netstumbler.com, it will explain itself :) It should be a fun project.
