Does anybody out there have any information optical (LASER) 802.3 bridges for
use out of doors??

We have some buildings that we would like to connect, but dread running
cable... any experiences with doing this??? Vendors??

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry about that -- What I meant to say is:

We have heard about LASER ethernet bridges where you would install one
unit on your roof and aim carefully at your friends unit on another building
and viola! Bob's your uncle!

Any knowledge out there???


Thanks in advance
