MESH to farm buildings - is this feasable?

[mal jackson]

I've been asked to cover three large farm buildings.

The Cisco 1572EAC - external antenna and AC power is what I'm looking at.

Can I mount one inside one of the farm buildings, and have a 5GHz  external antenna mounted on the outside of the buillding? The external antenna would feed one of the other buildings with the exact same setup. This way, I have 2.4GHz coverage inside, and have 5GHz backhaul to the other buildings.

Is this how MESH works?

Thanks for any light on this subject.

Has anybody any decent links to MESH information?

Thanks!

Mal.

Yes you can do that.

Here is the design guide.

Thank you so much!

I've tried in vain to find that document through the search engine.

Maybe I'm too impatient...

Regards,
