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.

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

Kind regards,
