Ubiquiti Building to Building, does not get easier than that. Works on 60GHz and will go to 5GHz during snow or rain. Max distance, about 500m.
Ubiquiti AirMax
Unifi products are decent but
For P2P ive found the best to be the mimosa products. Cheap, easy and just work.
Depends on budget and throughput but this is a good starting point

You do need a Unifi controller to run the thing though.
Unifi do products right up to their AirFiber range which can send P2P over 6 miles.
Bullshit. The Loco is part of the AirMax product family and is incompatible with the Unifi Controller.
These things run perfectly fine in standalone mode. The UISP Controller would be possible but the only advantages are bulk management and centralized logging.
I own four of the 5AC Loco for 5 years in standalone mode without a problem.
Mikrotik Wireless Wire
I have a pair of inexpensive TP Link radios that have been out in the elements for ~3 years. TP Link is not the biggest brand, but they seem to have steadily grown over time and offer tons of prosumer type equipment.
ubiquiti are decent, then look at mikrotix, then tplink.
TP-Link EAP670 / Ubiquiti UniFi / UeeVii CPE450 etc have a good reputation off Amazon!
