as long as it's line of sight, any wifi setup will do at 
that distance. Commodity waps will be marginal as far as 
electrical parameters go (tolerance of spikes on the power 
line, lightning protection, outdoor environment). I haven't 
used Jim's suggested unit, but I expect if you've got the 
money, that would be the way to go. Can you hang the waps on 
the inside of windows and have them visible to each other?
