The problem with a lot of customers being an integral part of the ring is
the customer's reliability affecting your network.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Fiber
Hi,
We do the same for commercial and residential customers... although our
cheapest plan for this service is $250/month.
Cisco switches with GBIC modules can be purchased for less than $500
complete. How much will all the fiber stuff cost at each household to
enable a PON? As well as at the NOC?

Thanks Travis,
I'm guessing this is for commercial, using a cisco switch at each
customer location?
What about resi?

George,
I just throw this out as another possibility on your fiber service. We
currently offer fiber service and we are doing it all over a single pair
of single-mode fiber in a complete "ring" configuration. So each
customer has a pair that comes into their location and then a pair that
leaves their location, but it's all the same pair. We then install Cisco
switches (with dual GBIC's) at each customer and we have a fully
redundant fiber ring capable of doing 1000Mbps.

Thanks for offering to help,
Here's what I have.
My noc is across a creek from a water tank that I have a dozen ap's on.
So I have to do aerial to get there. I want to use an aerial cable that
has a lot of fibers in it. So I can put each radio on it's own fiber
and not have a switch at the tank.
I also want to extend the rest of the unused fibers out to do a fiber
to the premises roll out.
What I'm not sure is what type or size of fiber to pull, considering I
want to break it out and go down the street.
I'm assuming single mode and I'm thinking this drop is short, 550', I
can use like 128 strands.
I am assuming going up the street to the homes, It would be a PON
network.
So I'm not sure of the fiber, or the network equipment behind it.

I may not get you all the answers, but here are some questions you
need to answer to get answers:
How far do you want to go?
What kind of data and data rates are you looking for?
What equipment is at the ends?
Hanging from poles, buried, etc.?

Anyone do fiber?
I'm wondering where I should be looking for good pricing on some
aerial fiber.
I don't know very much about fiber at all, so I also need some advice
on what fiber I should be using as well as what connectors.
Anyone have any experience?
Thanks
