Yes. It's point to point wireless to a building and Ethernet from there. No real latency issue there.

- r1ch 10y agoCurious what they're using for backhaul wireless links if they're offering 1 gbps service. Not many solutions can handle that kind of speed.

- jauer 10y agoRight now you can get away with a lot of "oversubscription" in MDU situations when you have 1-2Gbps to the building (typical millimeter-wave radio speeds). I wouldn't be surprised if they have buildings fed with 1x1Gbps going to 40x1Gbps clients. (hand waving about Erlangs and queuing theory here) E.g. if you assume everyone is downloading a DVD image from a fast mirror (CentOS install DVD or something), they probably won't all start the download at the same time so there's a really good chance one user will finish their download before someone else starts theirs. My MDU users rarely crack 1Mbps on a 30-day 95th percentile basis.
- gkop 10y agoAre you preparing for popular streaming video products pushing 4K content?
- jauer 10y agoA popular model is to use wireless until enough you have enough customers in a building to justify building out fiber so you can supply more bandwidth. Even without fiber you could have a 50 unit building with half the units streaming 4K@30Mbps simultaneously and have enough bandwidth left over for typical web use.
