Jeff,
We are connecting our WAN with a wireless system. We are using the ARLAN
system running at 2.4 GHz. The only problem I've found so far is that the
trees interfere now that spring is finally here and we are having to put our
antennas up above the trees. Otherwise, it seems to be doing well.
We have 4 elementary buildings, the community college, and the public library
on our WAN all pointed to our HS/MS campus.
