This is certainly a good scenario and technically better. I think Mac was looking for a scenario that was certainly workable within the abilities of the product, but also relatively inexpensive. The ideal solution would be the dedicated backhaul and then using the AU for all the remotes and activating the FIPS 197 feature security that Scriv was hinting about.

I would set an AU on your tower pointing toward the hub location for your hospital. I would put a 120 degree sector on that one. Put a SU at the hospital hub location to receive the 10 megabit feed for the hospital campus. Now you have funded the build of an Alvarion VL sector from your tower to feed any future customers within that 120 degree span. Next a second AU would go at the hospital hub location to feed the other 5 locations around the hospital campus. I would enable the higher-end security on this AU. With this you can develop a secure cloud around the hospital which would meet the requirements of HIPAA. Once you get that done you should get that hospital IT guy there to write you up a testimonial about how nice it is to have a robust wireless broadband deployment serving their needs around their hospital campus securely and cost effectively. Then guys like me can use that testimonial to break the mentality I have around me where none of the medical community will trust wireless for their networking needs. Let us know how you proceed Mac.
