[AusNOG] OOB over LTE in Data Centres

[Nathan Brookfield]

It's likely an unusual request because nobody asks permission, they just put there antenna on the top of the rack or yep we actually try and use partner networks for our OOB in most locations.

Hi All,

We are reviewing OOB access at our DC locations.

Do you deploy LTE/5G in the data centre racks as a last-resort? (i.e. 
via OpenGear's LTE models). If so, had success with a in-rack or an external LTE antenna?

Whilst waiting for permission from the DC the support rep. has mentioned that this is not a common request and that other tenants may just utilise independent OOB cross-connects.

It would be great to hear your thoughts.
