What distance between main site and the relay tower?
What distances between relay tower and remote sites?
What angle covers all remote sites from the relay tower?
Do you have clear line of sight and fresnel zone in all cases?

The distance between the main site and the relay tower is about maybe 1.5 miles
and from the relay tower to the remote sites are maybe about 1.5 miles as well.
the reason that we need the relay site is that from it the remote sites are over a ridge that can not be seen by the main site.

That's pretty far. The electronics won't matter as much as the
antennas. Your probably going to need highly directional antennas all
around, and if the angle to cover all remote sites is 120°, then you're
probably going to need more than one access point and antenna pointing
at the remote sites.

Ya I planned on having one access point per site and antenna pointing
at the remote sites.
I just wanted to know what anyone thought about the products
I'm leaning to the Proxim gx 200 units as they are full dulplex.
Cisco gave me a some demo units to try out and they just don't seem to cut it.
