Wireless replacement for a long USB/Serial cable?

Hi, 

This is not a Labview related question, but I am looking for some input. 

 

I need to have a long cable between the instrument and the PC (laptop is not an option), and I am looking for a wireless solution like this http://www.aircable.net/products/serial5x.php . 

 

Does anyone have any experience with this. I am looking for something similar from a vendor that has good support and has about 300ft of range.

 

Thanks.

I've used a wireless radio modem before.  I can't find a link to the one I have though.  I don't know if it could handle 300 ft.

It was kind of like this one.  http://www.bb-elec.com/Products/Wireless-Cellular/Radio-Modems/Industrial-Grade-Radio-Modems.aspx

 

Also look at this which will connect it to a Wi-Fi link.

The advantage with this is you would only need on on the device end if  your laptop has wireless already.  But again, I don't know about range.
