Commercial equipment:
I use Aironet ARLAN equipment for a wireless ethernet. They are 2.4 GHz
no-license required radio-ethernet cards that work at 2 Mbps. They cost
around $700-800 USD and with a good antenna with excellent gain, is claimed
to be good for a 25 mile hop.
Note that these radios can also be set to amateur frequencies in the
2400 MHz ham band and the original equipment was designed and currently
under development by an amater radio op.
