The Bridgewave GE60 uses the license free 60 Ghz millimeter wave RF transmission technology. For building to building applications of less than 500 meters in most of the USA it is the ideal solution for GigE transmission. Bridgewave is the best of all the companies, whereas Proxim is a poor one.
Free Space Optical, while it works, is a poor choice since any dense fog event will bring the link down and the price of the GE60 is actually less expensive than FSO. FSO is dead in the USA because of Bridgewave's new 60 Ghz and E-Band 71-81Ghz systems.
