Come on, Rik, this technology has been around for some time. I installed my first bridge using equipment like this years ago to extend our network out to remote buildings, and have done so many times since. We recently installed SMC 2891s to bridge between buildings several blocks apart, and those units have a claimed range of over 9 miles, although at a bit higher price. Trendnet and WLANantennas are other sources for equipment of this nature at very reasonable prices. Besides the internal antennas, most also allow you to connect higher gain external antennas for increased range or for multiple bridges from a single unit.

The only ones paying $10K for equipment like this are those who don't look past Cisco or 3Com for their network needs. Both make good equipment, but it should be gold plated at the prices they charge.
