We have looked as well, but with the VL's using the 55VDC there does not seem to be anything else available. Would possibly be interested in purchasing with you direct if that will help our pricing more. Hit me offline if you want to discuss that as it is probably not list appropriate.

Talk with your power coop to see if there is fiber in the area. Talk with your chamber, city council, whatever to find out if there is anything in the area (or close to the area) for fiber. We are very rural but are also able to get fiber backhaul to some major metros. -Original
