Dear GB ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Most major corporations usually hire a consultant to study such aspects and not rely on email chat lists for opinions. Are you planning some sort of "metro ethernet" using an existing infrastructure and then supplying "last mile" connectivity by a wireless link?
Posting here will get you alot of free opinions which are worth what you paid for them (including mine), but very little engineering research into network architecture for free. I charge for that. Most RF engineers do. After all, we have to pay our cable bills....
