An update. We have now instaled several of these. We have them up to a mile, and no problems. May go further, just have not tried it yet.
We have purchased both internal antenna and external antenna models. Both work well. I am using panel antennas with the external antenna model. The antennas have a 90 degree beamwidth and work well with units within the beam. We use the internal antenna model at the remote locations. One is serving as a bridge for multiple locations pointed at it. Works great. Next week I am putting one about 300' up a tower to serve several units in the area. Users say the speed performance is noticably better than the leased T1 we replaced.
