Jesus. That would be hard to beat..Even though that puts you at $900 plus s/h just in optics, plus the switch cost. I could do some napkin math when I'm no longer at a stop light to figure out how many users per location the tipping point is for a low cost OLT vs something with 48 SFP ports. A quick guess says around 100. On Mar 30, 2017 3:19 PM, "Adam Moffett" <dmmoff...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm on a similar quest for low cost deployment methods.
