Microwave links/PTP

Hi All,

Seeking some advice about microwave links.

Rather than pay for a normal vpls/IPSEC over DIA etc I was wonder how feasible using a microwave link would be.

Background

We are based in small town centre in the UK.

We are looking at taking the building next door which has clear line of sight and is 70meters/230ft away.

Exisiting building has 300 users. The New Property is likely to have 150 users.

Typical UK weather.

Ideally low latency < 5ms and bandwidth of 10GB.

Questions :

1) can anyone advise what speeds you can get in "real life" I have seen 10GB but is that realistic in real world usage?

2) I looked at this tech along time ago - 15 years ago - weather / birds etc are still gotcha's?

3) Can you recommend a UK partner to work with?

4) is there a "no brainer market leader in the uk"? Siklu? any to avoid?

5) Link install is < 30 day ? You need a license?

6) Typical costs? my assumption is cheaper than DIA-VPN/VPLS over 3 years...?

7) any lessons from the field you can share?

many thanks :)
