If you are limited on fiber runs, how about using 10Gb BiDi optics to limit a ring to say two sets of 15 switches. Tim On 2/25/20 8:21 PM, Bradley Burch wrote: > Should consider DWDM or GPON and in those look at passive optical > technologies that can benefit the project. > >> On Feb 25, 2020,

Also, Juniper switches will stack over fiber. I have deployed Virtual Chassis over multiple IDFs. The VC ports can be (and highly suggested) to be in a ring. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/virtual-chassis-ex4200-overview.html https://www.juniper.net/documentati

They are so open ended, they are really useless. Not sure why they didn't issue this with a company affiliation, etc to nail it down to say credentials that the person may have with them. Back in my Broadcast Engineering days, I would get passes issued by the local LE such as the SF Police de

Heh. I just did this recently as I started a low power FM station (KPEA-LP). I did a bulk download of about 10,000 cuts of IA's 78 collection from 1923 and earlier as those recordings are all in the public domain. Tim On 5/12/20 11:50 AM, Tom Hayward wrote: On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 10:32 AM

That lines up with my experience living in Mill Valley and trying to tether here. Either cell service is down, or it is up but not data. Finally gave up and drove into SF to steal some electrons and wifi at a dive bar on Geary. Tim On 10/27/19 5:21 PM, Sean Donelan wrote: > > According to repor
