Title: RE: [smartBridges] APPO Power consumption

Well at current I could probably do it at oc3 but the cost was fundamentally to expensive for my company or any company close to me to do.

 

Plus international regs would be difficult to deal with

HEHE that wud be kewl what I want is to get funding for our wireless link throughout the entire Caribbean, I'm talking from MIA down to the lesser Antilles, we did a mapping of it a few years back and it is possible using some PtP ATM 5.8 radios doing about. We did a 600 mile set of links in euro once and its 14ms from side to side :)

How about Los Rocos?  I'd be surprised but we take business partners
there at least 2-3 times a year... talk about bragging..  Show VP of
Halliburton or Hanover that we are still connected on an island you with
a runway that is the beach..  and has no phone service :)...
