We (ULowell) are using the DEC & M/A-Com product (DEC calls it
MetroWave) to link two campuses; after about 3-4 months with it we
have not had any problems.

We had originally been using Chipcom-over-broadband but the distance
was too far, and the local cable TV company liked to experiment with
the cable space we were leasing.
