Depends on the use case and the life span for the logical link

If points A and B need to be connected for a few years, and at "good enough" bandwidth by modern standards, the wireless link (I'm assuming this is like a microwave if fiber is in your budget) is probably fine unless you need 4+ 9s of uptime. If A and B need to be connected from now until you and I and everyone on this forum is dead, and might need tremendous bandwidth across it in 20 or 30 years, might as well run the single mode fiber.

Distance? Sounds like should work fine. Microtik and Unifi both make -- RichwebHokie 07/28/2020 4:42PM

1200 is my minimal distance. I'd love to be able to -- ElbertoHokie 07/28/2020 4:53PM

You work in a quarry right? Dust in the air could impact service -- Vienna_Hokie 07/28/2020 3:57PM

Uninterrupted is a big thing but dust shouldn't be an issue because it's -- ElbertoHokie 07/28/2020 4:26PM

Pretty reliable. Limited (usually) in speed, so if you need something -- hoosnowahokie 07/28/2020 3:33PM

Yeah I think with the fiber itself plus install we're looking at -- ElbertoHokie 07/28/2020 3:35PM
