New to Wireless - Need guidance

[rhearn]

Hi, all.

Quick question. I am looking at setting up a wireless
connection between 2 buildings that are about 1500m apart.
There is direct line of sight. My only issue is I am told
by the powers that be that I am to use Cisco eqp only.
This is my first trip down wireless lane, and I was hoping for some input.

I am looking at 2 Cisco BR1310-g bridges/mounting kits as well as 2 AIR-ANT1949 antenna's. Am I missing anything else?
As far as power goes, I am not sure what approach to take.

Any input as to the power issue, or any other equipment I have not mentioned that would be required, would be greatly appreciated.

Rhearn,



Cisco equipment is by far the best on the market (and therefore the most expensive). Not really sure what you are trying to say about the power, that sentence isn't really readable. As for the Antenna's, the ANT1949 has a range of over 3KM, and if you have a direct line of site with the bridge, then only one antenna should be needed (just be sure to place the antenna on the home side). For the bridges, I suggest using a wireless router on one end (the home side) with the antenna. You can encrypt and secure data transmission from intrusion and sniffing with a wireless router (WPA,WEP, and MAC filtering).
Hope that helps!
