I've been doing some work looking at the HamWAN standards for access/client data radios.  Basically this will setup us for a 2x2 MIMO AP and client capable of hitting 65Mbit/s over the air in a 10 MHz channel at 5.9 GHz.  We can still use the older client radios with this which do not support MIMO, but at 37.5 Mbit/s over the air data rate.  Here is a brief explanation of MCS index values.

Below is a list of the 3 AP's and antennas and 3 client radios.  I've added in the WaveGuard shields which increase the performance of the sector antennas by shielding the back side radiation from them.  The cable is already installed from the shelter to the top roof on the building, so installation and configuration of this should be a few hours worth of work.

The cool thing here is the client setup is under $200 and about the same price as a entry level HT.

This is a projected coverage of the AP's off the roof with a 35' client radio setup.  We'll blanket most of Tampa Bay with very usable -75dBm signal.  Any ham needing a link will be able to get on here and light up their repeater/base site with an IP connection.
