We needed to connect our Bus Barn and Tech Buildings in somewhat the same scenario and the easiest way and cheapest was to purchase a Proxim Quick Bridge product, around $1500.00. You get two antennas, to radios (which connect directly into your existing network and that was pretty much it, plus the wireless runs on Proxim's on WORP technology which cannot be scanned via war driving methods..

And we were going to run a fiber but didn't for some unknown reason. Wish we would have cause I have fiber transceivers to use. And yes I'm going to look a wireless solution.

I could be wrong on this, but it does not look like the other DSL equipment I have seen. The Point to Point DSL equipment I have worked with has had two different components. It also looks like your max speed will be a little low as well with these devices. At 1000' I would think wireless would be an option if you can get line of site between buildings. The ideal situation would be to use Fiber to connect the buildings for the fastest possible connection.

We are trying to get internet in a remote building, appox. 1000 ft away, and we are going to use SDSL Routers. We have two Netopia R-7200 SDSL Routers. Really needing some help getting them to talk to each other. If you have any suggestions for me please let me know. Or if there is a easier way to get internet to the remote building let me know. Really need some help for this. Thanks Mitch Mueller Emmetsburg CSD
