You'd be so annoyed if a wonderful frame of data was ruined by interference.

WiFi data is digital and is subject to data integrity checks and retransmission on error. Interference is irrelevant unless it is so bad that it impacts on overall throughput (don't site your network next to a Tesla coil.)
Greg: WiFi will be perfectly adequate with halfway decent directional antennas if you want to avoid the cost of a trench. A few years ago they used to make them with Pringles cans (not joking... a colleague of mine used to beam an internet connection a few km to another family member with homebrew antennas like this.)
Have a look at the Ubiquiti gear.
