Ubiquiti airOS
airos
Ubiquiti UISP-range of wireless products offer a comprehensive suite of devices specifically designed for interconnecting various locations. As long as these airOS devices can 'see' each other without any (or limited) obstructions like buildings or trees, a stable and high-bandwidth "beam" can be established. Even their most cost-effective devices can achieve up to 450 Mbps real TCP/IP throughput and maintain reliable links up 10km range!
