Trying to calculate bandwidth costs. 1Mbps / 8 bits = 125,000 bytes a second.
125,000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 30 = 324GBytes a month. This is just download we are looking at but since that is the majority of traffic and TDD/GPS Sync is often optimized for download we will just look at that and add download and upload on the user since upload likely hurts our AP's worse. Looking at my bandwidth graphs 50 percent of time is sorta off peak so: 324GBytes / 2 = 162GBytes. So say your cost per Meg is $100 $100 / 162 = $0.62 per gigabyte transferred. I realize this is just at your NOC but does this sound realistic? So a Media Streamer doing 200 Gigs a month costs $124in NOC bandwidth alone. Then you have last mile costs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
