Something like this, 2 of them, one @ each end:

engenius does sell the product you can use but do not use the ones in the other post. Use

These are designed for outdoor.

At the distance you are talking I like ubiquiti airgrid better

They say they can run more than 20km at 100m. The max i personally have tun them is only a little over 1000ft. They are pretty inexpensive about $70 for the largest units. Hard to say if you should use 2.4g or 5g.
