[AusNOG] Rooftop Datacentre Space Renting - UHF/VHF Aerial Point

[Curtis Bayne]

In my experience, most DCs tend not to be in great spots for RF (with some
notable exceptions). It is usually the customer's responsibility to serve
the building with a low impact notice and bring the RF into a carrier area
to be cross-connected.

FWIW, I'm in the process of doing something similar for a not-for-profit
without a carriers licence - it has so far worked out a lot cheaper and
easier to colocate the RF site somewhere else and overkill the
connectivity/power redundancy than to go ahead with lawyers and substantial
capital works in someone else's facility. There are a number of specialist
land mobile wireless operators who already have sites with purpose-built RF
colocation, complete with redundant power and backhaul. AMR (
http://amr.net.au/) would be a good first point of call for a service like
this.

Hit me up off-list if you need any further information.
