Wireless bridge between 57 Miles ?

[admin_2]

We need to connect two points with a wireless Bridge. One Point is on Bahamas and the other in Miami (57 Miles).

Use: Data / VOIP

We appreciate any recommendations to do this.

57 miles over a highly reflective path is just not a good idea. Too much height needed for clearance and multipath will kill you even if you can afford the structure.

This idea looks almost impossible. The maximum you can go with just two antennas is 25 miles. You could probably insert a repeater site but then I am not sure if this is an option in your case. Probably it might be a good idea to look for satellite or even microwave (this usually impose licensing issues.

You need to use a 5.8 system, proxim, trango, redline, just to name a few have solutions. Trango will cost about 3k and go 40 miles with 7-8 megs. I have a trango at 34 miles, works great but it takes a good amount of time to setup at that distance.
