Point-to-point Wi-fi

Hello!

We need to deploy a wireless solution for a new temporary warehouse. The building is currently under construction and will be ready in 1 month. Fiber/cable internet circuits on the other hand will be ready by July only. We want to be up and running once the building is ready so I think we have no choice of going with a wireless solution.

The building is right behind our main distribution center, I would say around 300-400 meters away. 5-6 users, laptops, RF scanners, wireless printers, etc. Nothing big. 50-100Mbps of bandwidth is enough. We have 5 units in that new building which represent 20k sq ft total.

Now the first option I see is to go with LTE with MX68CW firewalls to fit in our SD-WAN solution (we already have spares of these).

Second option is to go with a Point-to-point wireless solution, to extend our main campus to that new building. I'm not a wireless expert but I think something like the Aruba 387 series would fit our needs.

First option will be for 2-3 months until we get our fiber circuit. Second option on the other side we could keep it for the whole duration of our lease (1 year). We would also save the fiber costs.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions!

Thank you
