When you're connecting separate buildings in a commercial plaza, running underground single-mode fiber is always the way to go. Wireless bridges should be your last resort, reserved only for when tearing up asphalt or cutting concrete just isn't reasonable.
Sure, wireless links promise fast multi-gigabit speeds across a parking lot without the messy trenching, but they can be picky. If a building settles, high winds knock a mount out of alignment, or something minor shifts, your connection starts dropping and latency spikes. Buried glass sits there and works year after year; an exterior wireless link is always something you might have to babysit.
Plus, heavy storms can mess with the signal, forcing units to drop back to slower backup bands right when you need the speed the most. Without clear line of sight and a precise install, wireless bridges can become a headache fast. Build it right with fiber first; keep the airwaves as a backup plan.
