 We are currently looking at installing a 4 Mbit megastream link between two
of our sites. B.T. have quoted for the link, but they want lots of money, as
they will have to dig up the road to lay a new cable. Mercury on the other
hand quoted just over 10% the price of B.T., but they intend using a
microwave link.

 The question is, what effect adverse weather conditions and other comms
systems, such as radar at the local Marshalls airport, will have on a 4Mbit
microwave link running point to point over 7km?

 Can anyone also EMail me with any experiences they have had with Mercury or
other microwave links please.

Andy
