Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?

[bruce at yoafrica.com]

Hi 

Have a look at Microtik's equipment very cheap for what it does and linux based, else there is also the Ubiquity Powerstation's, I have used both with success, Microtik boasts a 70Km wireless link with the right wireless card and antennae :D
