The lesson I am drawing from this discussion is “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. It seems like any given natural (or man-made) disaster might have a greater impact on fiber or microwave (ignoring that many networks are a hybrid of both technologies), it’s hard to say one will always be more immune or quicker to restore. So a little of each might be best. Like FTTH plus cellular as backup.

As a result all US bases that I know of were rebuilt using heavy rigid conduit. Cost the fortunes. I doubt there is any direct correlation and I don't know if extremely rigid conduit would survive a quake better than anything else. I saw a documentary on it years back.

No idea how much it costs to get time on the equipment though outside of a research project (industry user). Probably not cheap. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
