The new Ubiquiti M-series Airmax 900 MHz radios should do it.  MCS10 
in a 5 MHz quarter-channel is around 10 Mbps.  A lower-loss path 
could allow MCS11 or MCS12.  While you can't synchronize sectors, 
they look like they will outperform Canopy at a fraction of the 
price.  Maybe they'll even ship this year. ;-)

As to mesh, MT has HWMP+ as a layer 2 meshing protocol.  It looks 
promising, though there has apparently been very little use of it in 
this hemisphere. But them I'm planning to do everything at layer 2, 
trying to build a switched network if I can (vs. 
bridged).  BATMAN-Adv does a layer 2 mesh too, your basic open source 
code.  I don't know anyone using that one either.  This type of 
meshing is basically like routing, just operating below IP so it 
treats IP (or other protocols, hint hint) as payload and doesn't try 
to deal with IP addresses.
