What is the distance between the two locations?
</div>


<div>
Hi<br />
The distance is 15 miles
</div>


<div>
What kind of bandwidth do you need at the remote site, Samir? &nbsp;A 15-mile link is outside of the limit for a gigabit 60GHz or 80GHz MMW link but is do-able at 150-300Mbps if using 5GHz.
</div>


<div>
Hi Craigbeck<br />
This building will operate 24x7 because its a hospital<br />
We want something reliable, stable and good performance<br />
<br />
If I get wireless bridge with 5ghz and 450Mbps and how much bandwidth I am expected to get in real?
</div>


<div>
So IP VPN is not a good option and expesive as well with monthly bills.<br />
<br />
Since this is a hospital then it requires amount of bandwidth due to Radiology Images, Hospital Information System.<br />
<br />
I guess this will be good option;<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
I'd get a couple of pairs and run them simultaneously, using routing to load-balance the links. &nbsp;That'd give you a potential of anywhere up-to around 500Mbps combined if the links are running at 450Mbps.

</div>


<div>
IP VPN is a good option if it's over a fixed line that's already installed. &nbsp;It's obviously more reliable than a radio link, but the cost is often many more times greater than installing a radio link.<br />
<br />
If there's already a fixed circuit that can be used, consider whether it'll be cheaper to run a MPLS-based VPN over that if you need to, for example.
</div>


<div>
Actually, ISP will provide IP VPN over Microwave because there is no Fiber Facility. In this case, is it better to go with ISP Microwave or pair P2P Wireless Bridge with link aggregation?
</div>


<div>
If ISP microwave is already in place I'd use that. If not it'll probably be cheaper to put your own in.
</div>


<div>
It is not that hard to run your own vpn over dedicated line. Not only can you buy vpn routers for cheap but you can build your own on platform you choose for speed and reliability.<br />
<br />
but if it is time sensitive --- do what Craig said.
</div>


<div>
The first thing I would do is check with the ISPs in the area to see if they can offer a dedicated fibre line between the buildings. &nbsp;To install one would be outrageous but in many areas the line is in place and you just have to pay installation charges from building to street, even in different parts of the country. &nbsp; Even that installation is not cheap but it is usually less than a 1 time $2000 fee. &nbsp;At one location we installed a dish antennas with a wireless connection over 3 miles. &nbsp;It worked reasonably well but was occasionally affected by weather, &nbsp;workers on the same towers, and even off-course crows. After 2 years the ISP installed a fibre line for the community in general and we were able to subscribe to a dedicated channel. &nbsp;Performance cannot be beat. &nbsp;It sounds like you will need a lot of bandwidth. This would give you the performance and privacy.<br />
<br />
Having said that it is not always an option.
</div>


<div>
ISP has no fiber in that area and it will take 1year for the installation and then later we can subscribe<br />
<br />
The ISP is providing 50 Mbps over Microwave but its expensive<br />
<br />
How I can have my own wireless with more bandwidth?
</div>


<div>
Move? &nbsp;:-)<br />
Sounds odd, but I find businesses in the last 2 years who are looking for new locations, consider available Internet services as a priority over many things like parking, view, and convenience. &nbsp;Most are even looking for 2 different connection options so they have failover.<br />
<br />
Regardless, I have a colleague looking at the units below for 5 miles. &nbsp;It was he who I worked with on the 3 km units a few years ago. &nbsp;I know nothing of these new units but he is impressed. &nbsp;However reliability can still be affected by weather conditions. &nbsp;This unit &quot;states&quot; OK for 100 KM (60 miles). &nbsp;The next unit down is 20 KM ( 12 miles).<br />

Experts,<br />
If I need to get pair of wireless bridges and aggregate them as <b>Craigbeck</b> mentioned in comment ID: 42074580 then whaqt will be Layer 2 switch requirements.<br />
<br />
Appreciating your help
</div>


<div>
Thanks Craigbeck and other experts for extending your support.
</div>


<div>
I'm thinking out loud hear, wouldn't two isp providing providing internet connection say 250 down &amp;&nbsp;50 up configured on you're own VPN server preferably PFsense for scalability each providing fail over site to site VPN.<br />
<br />
Open VPN clients are easily exportable
</div>


<div>
Dedicated Leased Line is very expensive than IP VPN.
</div>


<div>
I don't think a pfSense installation would be desirable for a hospital network.
</div>


<div>
Hi Craigbeck<br />
Sorry for the delay in reply<br />
We have met with Infinet Vendor and decided to get a three wireless bridges at each site and aggregate them with load balancing<br />
Each bridge supports 450Mbps bandwidth<br />
Each bridge will installed in different site of line path<br />
<br />
Please advise if this correct decision
</div>


<div>
Sounds good. L3 load-balancing will be great with these.
</div>


<div>
Yes with dynamic routing protocol like OSPF<br />
Thanks craigbeck
</div>


<div>
Thank you all for the support and suggestions

Microwave IP VPN or Wireless Bridging

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
