AT&T Wavelan does 2Mbps, which is AFAIK the fastest 'cheap' solution available. They have a 10Mb product in progress, but it hasn't been released. I don't know of any faster products on the market, but I'm sure there are some if you want to pay big $$. > Does anyone know of a wireless solution that could do this, preferrably > under $10K. This can be done easily with Wavelan stuff. Currently, our ISP has a Karl-bridge that connects a number of a sites (including us) in the downtown area. Each end was around $3K including antenna, and their central box was a *bit* more spendy than that but it allows multiple connections. Rather than trying to talk outside of my domain, why don't you checkout: http://www.karlbridge.com Nate
