If I upgraded to a better-quality unit, or switched to licensed spectrum, I could probably eliminate the variability and increase speed simultaneously.

Indeed, we have Ubiquiti kit running point to point links in the 5Ghz unlicensed spectrum (band C) over around 18km which deliver ~65Mbps throughput. I think our distance record is just shy of 68km.

Within the Ubiquity line, the AirFiber apparently would get me to ~99.99% reliability at ~600Mbps, or ~99.9% reliability at ~1Gbps. Still using unlicensed spectrum, using the built-in directional antennas.

Do check the 24Ghz spectrum rules carefully in your jurisdiction - certainly here in the UK the 24Ghz unlicensed spectrum is limited, and only allows fairly low power without a licence.

I do not have personal experience with Alvarion, but I can unreservedly recommend Dragonwave.

I'd add Motorola Orthogon kit to that list, based on some offshore experience with it a few years ago.
