Free-Space Optical

Q: We are connecting two buildings which are about 15 KM apart.We cannot lay fiber cable under ground due to government regulations. On microwave we can only get 100Mbps.
I am pondering the use of optical over the air. Kindly advise if this would be appropriate for this link.

A: Typically, line of sight optical systems are limited to about 2 km distance but can be repeated for longer distances. They are susceptible to interruption by fog, rain, even birds flying through the line of sight, so may not be appropriate for your application.
