You may want to contact Bruce at Lattice Business Solutions, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bruce handles all my surplus gear, shelters, gensets, etc, and has been really good to deal with. He knows the industry.

RE: [WISPA] Fiber Supplier
In that type environment you have several product choices, but I'd probably just spec in an OSP-rated PE (polyethylene) sheathed fiber with tight buffered strands since you'll be putting in conduit and will thus have a clean run with string. OCC (Optical Cable Corporation) out of Salem, VA would be a decent choice in terms of both functionality and cost. It has Kevlar for tensile strength. Just use a kellums grip and make sure the pull line is tied to the Kevlar. An AT&T loose-tube will have less friction in the pull and is a good choice for runs along existing cables. As a loose-tube (gel) cable with fiberglass strength members. It is springy so it can be pushed as much as pulled. Loose tube takes longer to terminate and requires higher expertise as it takes a bit more care. There is a brand called Chromatic Technologies that is low cost, but I never liked working with it.

Thanks Patrick, I know how to do a lot of it, contract it. I know folks that do the labor part, but I am to supply the material. In the past someone else did it, so I am looking for vendors.
