[MLB-WIRELESS] AP that you can connect two directionals to??

[darrend at ndpgroup.com.au]

Jason, Avaya and Enterasys both have dual orinoco card based AP's. I 
believe the models are AP-2 and AP-2000 respectively. Neither are cheap, 
and both require their own brand of PCMCIA cards. 
Cisco has a new dual radio card comming aswell, but I'm not sure of the 
model.
It would be far more economical to use 2 'cheapy' bridges back to back via 
ethernet. eg dlink, netgear etc....

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the make etc. of an AP that you can hook two 
directionals to?
I have talked to some suppliers of AP's with dual antenna sockets and they 
tell it can't be done with theirs. They indicate that you would need two 
AP's back to back with a directional on each. I want a least power use, 
least hardware option to set up a "repeater". On omni on one AP may work 
but this link needs to be super reliable - highest speed. (distance from 
each end to common point ~ 1km)
 
Cheers
Jason
