We use Motorola's solution (Altair Plus). It is a wireless spread-spectrum
product. The latest incarnation should go three blocks (I vaguely remember 1/2 mile
claimed). It runs at 3+ Mb/sec, and each end is a bridge. The only limitation is
the number of stations on the remote side. It was limited to 32, and now is something
a good bit higher. The product we have, the older altair unit, has been up
for 9 months with zero downtime.
