I'm looking to create two small wireless bridges. What would be good products for completing this task?

The bridges would be around 200ft each. I can't use Ethernet due to asphalt being in the way.

Ok. Personally I would use two Ubiquiti Nanostation M5's. EnGenius also makes some but I am not very familiar with their products.

Thanks for the respond. Just checked out the EnGenius ENS202 and is right for the price. Only thing is that the operating temperature is only rated to -4 while the nano's are rated for -40. Up here in ND it will drop to -20 or -10 during the winter. Looks like I'll probably be going with the nano's.
 


Yes the EnGenius may be ok in those temps but you would have no warranty if it did not work. If you do go with EnGenius make sure to get the 5Ghz model and not the 2,4Ghz. The 2.4Ghz band is already crowded and the signals travel further so there is more chance of interference.
