I am in the beginning stages of investigating a network connection for a building my College is interested in acquiring. The building and property are roughly half a mile (let's call it 2600 feet to give some leeway) away from the main campus. There is a nature trail in-between the campus, but I believe the buildings will have a line of sight to one another once on the respective roofs. But even if not lets consider line of sight a given for this question.
If I were to purchase two Aruba AP 387 units, would I be able to get a fast, reliable connection between the two buildings? Would there be any configuration considerations at that distance? I would prefer to get a gig connection to that building if at all possible. I have a previous ptp that had good reliability and success at a much shorter distance. I have attached a diagram of the buildings and distances for reference.
Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated. I want to have good information before going back to our executives with this ptp concept and plan.
