I had a call from someone yesterday wanting a minimum of 2 Mbps upstream for his Ring video doorbell, I wasn’t clear whether that was for 2 doorbells or to insure best video quality. Yuck, seriously? I have typically seen Nest Cams use 200 kbps to the cloud per camera, but supposedly these Ring things want a minimum of 1 Mbps. To see who’s at your door. In fisheye HD. What’s next, a camera inside my fridge to watch the food and see who’s opening the door? Cameras on the pets?
Amazingly, the video doorbell guy wasn’t particularly concerned about downstream bandwidth. From: Cassidy B.

The same as the download? That’s my concern.. will we be wasting too many time slots on the huge upload when we could dedicated it to the massive download capacity?

To do that , we are expecting the A5-360 14’s to be within about ½ mile on average and 40 customers. We have tested out to 1.5 miles with the C5’s, but modulation drops to about 360Mbps. In that case, I probably wouldn’t offer more than 100Mbps. However, that changes when the A5c and B5 sector products come out with bigger antenna options.

I would be confident offering those speeds with the new Mimosa gear if you have great signals and keep distance low. On Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 9:56 PM, Cassidy B.

We normally have a three-level hierarchical policer that lets us do a commit and a burst rate and a burst bucket (MB). We also usually have the upload close to the same commit as the download, but with a smaller bucket and burst size than the download. We’re wondering if we’re going to be using up too many upload timeslots in continuing the semi-symmetrical upload/download options. I noticed at the show the XL Broadband guy had a 25/5, 50/6, 75/7, and 100/8 set of packages. Thoughts? Does limiting the upload by that much really buy you that much on airtime?
