We are ordering now a microwave link for bridging between two buildings
located 1.2 km apart. We are buying from:

	Microwave Bypass Systems, Inc.
	25 Braintree Hill Office Park,
	Braintree, MA 02184

	contact: Mr. Robert Cuomo at 617-843-8260

I have seen this product operating at Interop89 in San Jose last October.
The total installed cost quoted to us is 39,696 US$ including licensing.

I have heard that IR equipment is also used in Toronto for a distance of
800 meters and it can work if you can see the other building. That IR equipment
is sold by: LCI at 1848 Charter Lane, Suite F Lancaster PA USA 
            +1 717 396 9831.
