I use Ruckus for my wireless bridges when needed. Setup is simple and
robust. There were times when I have to setup a tripod on a roof with a
POE network connection and have it link to another antenna 2000 ft away.
The setup was: eyeball the two, turn on the antennas and move the
tripod/antenna until I got the best signal via an LED signal bar on the
antenna. System sync done. Period.
I averaged over 300MB unless it rained so hard you couldn't see the
other building and it would go down to 200MB speed. I actually had one
tripodded antenna fall off the roof; hung upside down, pointing at the
wall of the building 180 degrees for the way it should have been and was
supported by the ethernet cable and it took me a week to realize it
since the signal strength was over 200MB.
Setting up a bridge now takes about 2 hours start to finish with the
setup I have.

As our campus rapidly changes and grows, we began placing office
spaces in our offsite residential housing. Initially, we built out a
large two story office area that has a fixed connection back to our
main campus. Networking within the same building was simple as we did
this during the renovation.
With our growth, the administration is now planning on throwing
together another Ad Hoc office space in a separate building. This
building is relatively close to our main office space (+-50 feet),
however we have no cabling between buildings and no conduits in place.
I’m interested in testing out a low latency line of site wireless
bridge, one that I could utilize to distribute to multiple buildings
as our growth continues, across up to 1000 feet and from 100-1000mbps
speeds.
Can you share what vendors you’ve had success with? Engenius,
Ubiquiti, etc., come to mind initially.
