7000 KM?

This sounds more like a satellite scenario than wireless. Is this area rural (without adequate telecommunications) or are land lines an option?

I haven't done one in a while, but Hughes VSAT is a solid networking option via satellite.

If you have suggestion for satellite network, please provide me where I can have any guidance.

by netigen

7000KM means all coverage area. From the centre to other end about 50-70km. Then from that site I will create tree and follow by domain.
I'm looking for best wireless device i.e. Bridge, router, access point or client device to enable continuity, availability and security.

I think you need a Local ISP Point of presense to accomplizes this.Only Leashed line with Frame relay encapsualtionin this scenario.For a Backup Redundancy use 2 Dialup ISDN line since u need to support large no of users.Don't think of wireless solutions

7000 Km?
I think you should take a look at creating a VPN over the Internet, and analize the way of link each node, one at a time.
In some case you will find better the wireless way (I realy don't see it professional, but one exception could be access "on the road"), but in the core infrastructure you will need to check other options.

I would recommend using licensed radios for your long shots. 5.8 and 6GHz radios can reliably provide point-to-point shots of 50-60 kilometers. You can employ the 802.11technology of your choice to provide point-to-multipoint connectivity to individual clients. Proxim is a well-known manufacturer of licensed and unlicensed radio gear for 2.4-2.5 and 5.7-6.0 GHz applications.
