What I have no experience whatsoever with is the antenae arrays, and I was hoping maybe someone out here might have some advise or ideas, or product suggestions, (also need someone who can sell me this stuff :). I need to connect two locations together, approximately 1000meters or so apart with a clear line of sight from rooftop to rooftop. On one location it would be prefered to use an omni-directional device, with a point-to-point device on the other end aimed directly at it. What I am trying to do is connect our office to our local ISP's, (which happens to be directly accross the highway from our building). I have made arrangements with the ISP, and assuming the cost of hardware isn't too great, we're looking at using wireless as an alternative to DSL. (Currently we cannot get DSL where we are at). If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, comments, concerns, or places where I can purchase this stuff as inexpensively as possible... please let me know.
