Aren't there options for non-line of site, also? I seem to recall that
I saw options with ranges in excess of 20-25 miles in an urban setting.<br>

<pre wrap="">Michelle,
I agree with Chad. I work for a wireless ISP when I'm not at the library.
As long as you have line of site to your branches and they are close
enough to your main building it probably won't be as expensive as you
think. You could do point-to-points or an access point with clients at
your branches. It all depends on what your needs are.
Definately an option if you have plenty of bandwidth to share.

<pre wrap="">The Paulding County Carnegie Library has two rural branches (located in NW
Ohio) that are in desperate need of a faster internet connection. However,
because they are rural most companies in the area cannot support their
needs. My question is, does anyone have a similar situation and if so how
did you handle it? Would replacing the switch make that big of a
difference? Any advice would be hopeful. Thanks!
