    We've got a similar situation now - new building 1000 feet away, and to get
    a fiber run (because it goes through a mud puddle) requires all sorts of
    variances and approval from the Department of Natural Resources.

    We're planning on deploying an optical system. Should be right around $30k
    all told, but we'll have gigabit bandwidth. Supposedly the beam is very
    narrow (IR laser), so snooping should be a very minimal risk:

    We'll also be deploying a basic Aironet RF bridge for backup; on that I'm
    much more concerned about security.
