I have to chime in on LigoWave- introduced to me by a gent that runs a company that uses them all over London. Light, easy, cheap, intuitive, rugged.

In our case for two different links, one is approx. 520m and the other approx. 640m. We have been very happy with them but they came at a premium price point. For a distance of <100m I would consider low-cost options such as MikroTik and others. About 3 years ago I deployed 6 pairs of MikroTik SXT 5 units (these date from before 11ac was released) at the self-help yacht club where I keep my sailboat. The shot distances are: 1x 45m, 1x 75m, 4x 95m. The SXT's have survived two of the nastiest winters in recent memory and they continue to work today. Except as a customer, I have no other interest in MikroTik.
