Hey guys, i have a question. I need a wireless solution for diffrent branches. The device in our HQ must be able to speak to the other wireless devices in our other branches, located a good 1 - 2 km (kilometers) away. Do any of u know about a wireless network that can send signals that far? Basically a Wireless Wan/Man.

Of course if i could by it here in SA, that would be even better. Maybe some one imports to SA that you know of.

Does that not require line of sight? Any buildings, trees, large vehicles get in the way and the link is broken.

Why wireless?

Can you not use a modem/ISDN/Cable/ADSL connection?
