If some wireless solution exists, it's definetly in a regulated
spectrum area and/or power level.
And you probably don't want to have to handle administrative
regulatory issues (if it is at all possible to get a license in your
country). Furthermore, this kind of equipment is very expensive,
requires a nice installation place (like a cell tower, for instance),
and is pretty tricky to set up.
If I were you, I'd order a DS0 from the telco. Or use another
technology, depending on your requirements (permanent link ? heavy
traffic ?), and technical possibilities (VPN, Frame relay, X25,
ISDN...)
