I am looking to establish a point to point network. The two points are about 500m apart. What products do you offer that can handle this type of setup?

500m PtP connection is a piece of cake, all TP-Link outdoor access points can meet your requirement, you can refer to: http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/biz-list-37.html
So which one is appropriate depends on your other requirements, such as the speed, 2.4G or 5G, etc.
For now, CPE510 and CPE210 are the latest outdoor access points with relative better performance.

Line of sight

I have been looking at the CPE510 unit, I would assume I configure the one unit as a AP and the other as a client point them towards each other and it should just work. How important would line of sight be in this case? The distance is not very far, however i do not think we will have direct line of sight. there are some trees that might be in the way.

I think clear line of sight is important, sometimes it's even not enough, you can refer to: www.tp-link.com/en/faq-907.html
Anyway, what will the result be still need a filed test, if it's not feasible, why not just deploy them higher to avoid the barriers?

Clear Line of Sight and Freznel Zone isn’t everything; It’s the only thing.

Line of sight and clearance of Fresnel zone can save a lot of works.

Sometimes users are just wasting their time struggling with the damned obstacles/trees/walls in the way.

Once they ensure line of sight and clearance of Fresnel zone, everything goes on smoothly and the world gets better..;)
