Have you done that on point to point links?

Not quite sure what you mean. There is a backbone structure, ie. PtP
links, connecting a number of access points. The access points would
be PtMP in this context. The length of the PtP links varies from less
than 500m to over 16km, some of the PtMP links are well over 2km.

I'm always amazed by what the Nowegians manage with wireless
technology in difficult situations like this. It costs, but it can
be done.

Off the shelf kit though nothing "special", choose your (external)
antenna to make up the loss on the link due to distance. Some are
little flat patches, others are 24" dishes. Does need to be line of
sight.
