Hi Nick,

Where are the repeaters? Even using HDSL or VDSL, 1.5mbps T1s don't
generally extend 30,000 feet without repeaters.

Depending on how far apart the repeaters are and whether you can
substitute other equipment, you may have lots of options or none at
all.

Also, tell us more about the terrain. Just because you don't think
it's suitable for ptp wireless doesn't necessarily mean that wireless
can't usefully play a role in a hybrid solution.
