Telex is not the"rock solid" performer you need for this application
there is a good reason why lectrosoncis is the industry standard for this
type of work
ping Karl Winkler at Rec.audio.pro
he is a amazing resource, and it doesn't hurt he is the front of house guy
for lectrosonics

without a site visit I can not say if wireless is possible, my experiance

there are dozens of ways to get signal there
one is to transformer tap off a existing home run, and feed it to a local

a site visit would be required to give professional level advice on this
