how does one calculate what antenna to use

[David Hunt]

I have a distance of 700 meters, semi clear line of site.

I have 2 Cisco AP1532E access points (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/wireless/aironet-1530e-outdoor-acce...)

is their an antenna that I can use to create a wireless bridge?

trying to learn, how does one calculate what antenna to use?

Might this work? why or why not?

I don't have the link handy but if you use the googles I'm sure you will find it. Cisco has an excel sheet where you input the distance, the model of ap, and yiu can select the different antennas and it will calculate a link budget.
