[AusNOG] Bandwidth in Phillip Island

[Daniel Pearson]

Hey all,

Thanks for all the responses. I have managed to arrange some site inspections for wireless and also looking at bonding DSL at a worst case... Will let you all know how we go. Looking to stretch nearly 70kms on microwave :) Should be fun!

I just wonder how Telstra has been allowed to not open up the fibre down there to non govt bodies.... but that is who they are!

Regards,
Daniel Pearson

Not without exceeding the regulatory limits for 5GHz class license! :-}

Significant care should be taken when using this equipment, and ALWAYS use the 'Auto Adjust to EIRP Limit' feature to be certain.

If both ends are more than a given distance from a population center of a defined size (15km/10000pp from memory) then you can buy a license to operate up to 200 watts, which can deliver those kinds of rates - otherwise 7-10Km is about the limit for any usable link, and less than 5Km for any decent rate throughputs.

Over 2-3Km, that class of equipment is fantastic value for money! (there are other brands available too, of course :-)

Cheers!

Please see NANOG49 presentation on a 50Km wireless deployment from @dorkmatt

Happy to talk more off list as/if required.

Cheers,
