Q: Our company is looking to expand into a building across the street. We try to find solutions for connecting the comps across the street to our server in the main building. Is there a way to do this?
Details: the distance between the buildings is about 100-130 meters. They are opposite each other.
Re:thanks for all the replies!
Here's some more info.
802.11 is probably enough for us. We aren't transferring a whole lot of data as it is.
The two buildings DO have LOS to each other. Windows are facing each other in clear view. There might be a potential problem with trucks blocking LOS (since the road between the offices).
So if people could tell me more solutions (and possibly prices), I would greatly appreciate it.
Re:Depending on the bandwidth you need, you can do a standard 802.11 solution, or thre are optical solutions up to one Gig, and unlicensed microwave up to OC12 (622 Mbps).
Some are rooftop solutions, some are window-to-window …. all have ranges from hundreds of feet to miles.
Budget, line of sight, and bandwidth requirements will be your deciding factors.
FWIW

Re:Jack, either way the problem is solved!

The cheap way would be a pair of 802.11g bridge modules with hi-gain directional antennas.LOL, for cheap company that just expand into two building this probably will do.
Or it will shrink them back to one building company.

Demo was across the Grand Canyon.
Re:A bit more information would be useful:
How many PC's in the new building?
What kind of applications do you use?
Is it line-of-sight, or are there trees, landscaping, etc. between?
Do you have window-to-window line-of-sight or just roof-to-roof?
What's your budget?
How concerned are you with security?
Is stability and consistent service more or less important than price?

Re:I would say that would be a good job for a wireless bridge, don't know what your budget/speed requirement is, but you should be able to find a pretty decent deal on one. I recomend the Cisco 350 (http://www.cdwg.com/shop/products/default.asp?EDC=302925 ).
