Not sure I understand that.
RDP/VNC/X11/NC/Tarantella etc use <= megabit/s to give you control of
the session on a  machine sitting next to the data server, with a link
over one piece of Cat 5 or fibre or whatever to it.

So with a bog standard wireless router you can stream the desktops of
the sessions very easily across the air gap, as they are orders of
magnitude less data than the data being handled in the session.

Not fast enough, 100M would be good, 1000M would be better, we are
moving large files around.

Motorola encrypted point to point radio.

Certainly 100s of Mbit/s.

300 half duplex when I was working for them. Things might have improved, but ye canny break the laws o' physics... Prices then was £20K for a pair, but I undesrstand they've come down in price a lot since then.

I looked at it when the PCT was having trouble getting us a link between
buildings 800m apart.

They're good though. Absolutely solid when setup correctly.

However, I suspect Mike's just going to have to dig the road up and get some ducting in-place and run fibre...
