Oh wow!
That’s like every single WISP operator then!

Check your local electrical codes for wiring power over Ethernet.
Things got sticky in WA state over this issue and it took
considerable effort to change the electrical rules.

Yeah GigE PoE.
The GigE PoE adapters are cheap and work well with the RB260 models.
I like it that way, then the customer can decide if they want to
put on 100 hours of battery backup or not.
We just maintain the outside device at the Demarc on the side of
their house.

stupid question, but i know the fiber mikrotik stuff / demarc
still needs power. what if the point you enter the house does
not have power right there? how do you hook that up? utilize POE
in some shape, form, or fashion?

Our ROI is 5 years. We fund per neighborhood and usually
come out easily paying out the 5 years monthly on the
loan plus plenty left over for operations.
Our build costs to the home are skewed because we build
at cost.
It’s going to vary a lot by your market and circumstance.

Any numbers on what it costs to serve an average urban or
suburban neighborhood per home ? Trying to get some ideas
if we can afford the investment in fiber.
Like what would it cost to serve say 100 or 200 homes?
And idea on roi if you were paying for the fiber to be
laid like I will be?

Hybrid model, I bring bandwidth in via wireless to
the neighborhood and set up a cabinet that serves all
the houses in active Ethernet fiber.
GPON is ok, but in this model so much of the expense
was burial of conduit that it really didn’t make
sense to just pull for GPON.
Plus GPON restricts you to a specific vendor market.
My model might not scale to thousands of installs a
month, but it works for hundreds a POP.
A POP is about $15k for 200+ connections completely
contained and redundant.
The end points and fiber construction are on top of
that of course.
That is the major expense, the labor to bore and
trench and splice hella ton of conduit, boxes and
fiber strands.
My entire GigE NID/ONT setup is less than $100
installed though.
Buried conduit all the way to the side of the house,
and fiber to the NID.
It’s built to last, the conduit and fiber being our
biggest expense and asset.
Mikrotik “ONT” and off the shelf lasers from china
for next to nothing.
I haven’t seen any cheaper ONT setup than what we do,
and it’s full GigE.
The only piece of the puzzle I’m missing to do 10GigE
to the home is a cheaper transceiver.
I’m sure that will come next year. Sky’s the limit
once the fiber is in the ground on a one to one basis
with the switch and the ONT.
We leave enough fiber to do a pair at the house,
though everything is BIDI right now.
I don’t believe in VoIP or TV, so it’s all Ethernet.
The customer can get their traditional phone and TV
elsewhere.
Which is nice for regulations because we dodge every
single headache I used to have with a WISP.
This fiber stuff is soooooooooooooooo much better and
easier.
Costs more though.

Anyone there that would like to update?
I couldn't make it.
Not sure that I would have gotten anything out of
it anyways.
I don't use any equipment from any of the
sponsors/vendors of fiber weekend.
I'm just curious if they are all
talking/preaching the same ONT/deployment
strategies as usual?
I wonder how close they are to what I am doing.
