Actually I dont know why I never thought of it, something like this : https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-LocoM2-2-PACK-PRE-CONFIGURED-Nanostation/dp/B06XH4Z9SK/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=point+to+point+wireless+bridge+2.4ghz&qid=1603670661&sr=8-3
would work for our application just fine. Its funny that you mention that, that is something that has always puzzled me to. Someone once told me though if you can hear that person screaming from a mile away (in antenna world) the person screaming can you hear you to (Really weird). So out antenna situation once installed will be static they will only be moved during transporting from university to launch location.
