gigabyte wireless bridge?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I have two buildings separated by 500’ on a college campus. Between the buildings is city street and another single story unit etc so running a cable isn’t an option. I’d rather not lease a line from the phone company.

currently the 'disconnected building is fed by a T1 line. The goal is to drop that monthly recurring cost in favor a wireless solution. This solution would bring internet to the building and provide a LAN extension with the rest of the campus. (Wireless bridge.)

I’ve used MK gear for several years for last mile and WISP operations but have never tried to implement a solution in a city or a solution that would require such high bandwidth transfer. (I’ve used xr9 and xr5 cards with RB411

has anyone tried this sort of scenario and if so what hardware are you using?

Is 100mb or 1000mb throughout something that can even be done wirelessly?

No problem 1Gbps units are available if you have about $15,000 for each side of the link.

100Mbps full duplex units are available too though if you get creative you could achieve such a feat with mikrotik gear. The SXT can theoretically do it though practically I’d use a pair on each side and bond them together by whatever method you prefer.

Thanks, I’ve looked at full duplex 1gb gear and it is frightfully expensive.

100mb could get me running and banking money for the next big thing.

I’m not familiar with sxt. I’ll google it and see what I come up with.
