Hi everyone

I'm looking for some advice on the following configuration. We are planning on connecting a number of sites in a sort of star configuration - one of the sites is on a hill, and is visible from all the others.

Base site:
1. Borg 8Slot WaveGuide - http://shop.borg.co.nz/product_info.php?cP...&products_id=28
2. (optional) 500mw Booster for 2.4Ghz - http://shop.borg.co.nz/product_info.php?pr...products_id=541
3. 802.11g AP

Remote sites:
1. Borg 19db Parabolic Grid - http://shop.borg.co.nz/product_info.php?products_id=91
2. 802.11b/g PCI card

Our remote sites will range from 1 to 3.5 km. The questions that we need answered (or URL references to) are:

1. Do you think our selected configuration will work?
2. Do you think we need the optional booster?
3. Is it work spending the extra money to get the "g" AP. Will it actually be any faster / more reliable (over our distances)?

Any advice would be much appreciated! It'd be a shame to go and buy all this stuff - only to find it doesn't work. Also, if you can recommend any good sites that document the kind of equipment they're using (as a good example for us - and so we can convince the 'accounts' dept).

Thanks
