Talking Long Range Wifi

Possible project needing designing.
Looking for the design of an antenna aiming device that can be controlled remotely (hardwired) from ground level, and need to be able to be controlled within a ~ 120 degrees left/right, and +- 15 degree elevation with 1 degree control steps or less in each direction. The weight of the dish is ~10 pounds. The entire assembly needs to be weather proof able to stay locked in position during heavy wind, rain, sleet, and snow. And as light as possible. It will be mounted atop a 21’ galvanized steel pipe 1-1/4” ID. The dish requires a ~2” mounting pipe to bolt to.
The cost needs to be as low as possible. Possibly two units required.
One dish mounted 80+ feet in the air atop a 60’ communications tower, the other 60 feet mounted in a tree.
The power source for the control needs to able to be carried either to base of tree/tower, or small enough to be carried up ladder with control panel.
This is for a long range wifi link, that needs to be fine tuned, but the actual dishes are too high above a safe standing/tie in point to tune other than lowering dish, setting elevation and re raising dish.
