Cool idea actually :) Personally I would suggest changing channels on the AP was it clear line of site to the AP from there? As for the NLOS stuff theres only a few real NLOS companies that are worthy of business usage and there WAY to expensive trust me I've priced it my setup to switch to NLOS was nearly 3/4 of a million for this island it would have been impossible to make it cost effective. Best thing to do is finder closer repeater points if your in a dense area bring repeaters on clients houses hell put a repeater at clients houses that are already setup if they can see it. Do it the PCS way many ap's for small coverage it's still cheaper than the NLOS equipment.
Stay away from Cirronet if you can btw it's fast to install and expand but in the long run the speed will quickly get noticed as inadequate.
