Tried three of them on a project a few years ago, .. we couldn't get 1000'
with them, much less multi-kilometer. The path was line-of-sight, but the
ground rose between the two buildings and the 'sight' was only a few feet
above the ground over the 'hump'. The best speed I could get on the link
was about 500Kbps, so we abandonded them - the customer decided not to do
it.
