I hate to rain on someone's parage but before you can dig under the streets and sidewalks you have to get approval from the City or County. They typically require engineering surveys, and co-ordination with the other utilities such as power, tv, phone, water, sewer, etc.
Even with directional boring you still have to dig up something somewhere so there will be landscape repair costs, and cleanup. I would venture to guess it will be about 2000 per house by the time it's all said and done (possibly more). That's a lot of wireless. Even at 10k per wiMax AP you would be way ahead (in 6 months they will be 5k). __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 11:42 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: [WISPA] Running Fiber Ikes, sorry for hijacking the last thread and forgetting to change the subject! -=-=-=-= Hello, If one was wanting to run fiber in an already developed neighborhood, the obvious obstacles are existing concrete roads, drives and sidewalks. What are your options for getting around this other than destroying and fixing which is not an option? Is there a technology that would allow you to drive conduit underneath concrete drives and such?
