At least if digital data transmission is a requirement. Btw, do you know if there are suitable commercial products for this kind of thing?

For wifi+wired,
Ubiquiti was always my "goto solution",
but the best tech is always an evolving target.
I read recently they are still recommended.

My thoughts on this are not very well organized. I had thought that wifi was too short range for this.

we had good long legs up to 35km,

Far better to use short range mesh
than depend on long range bottlenecks.
Wifi is useful for short-leg mesh.
