if you need/want a faster network connection, then you could
use the non-existant 5GHz equipment, or the amazingly
expensive 58GHz point to point microwave and pay the very
large licence fee.

In the US the maximum output from a system, ie card + cable + antenna(e)
is 1W! with a maximum practical range of 35 miles, mountain top to....

here it is 100mW .... 2KM is perfectly reasonable, roof top to roof top,
with line of sight.
