Quick answer
A point-to-point wireless link uses a pair of directional radios, one on each building, to carry a network connection between them. It needs line of sight and careful alignment, and delivers stable speeds over short to long distances depending on equipment. It is used to link buildings, remote gates, parking areas and distant CCTV cameras.
