That's great info that I'm saving. It's way cheaper than I thought it would be since the cost of everything has gone down much vs back when I started networking. I was also considering possibility of reaching out to people in Shenzhen finding and testing gear from various suppliers to see if that cost could be reduced. Curious if you've considered any kind of mesh networking that relays from one location to another?
I look forward to the fiber write-up.
- doubleplusgood 10y agoWhat kind of latency does meshing add? I'd reckon a few more ms per hop?
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat's something I'm curious about, too. I haven't done much research on it except to say I've used it a few times with no noticeable impact and some others are doing mesh networks. I was just curious if OP had done any research or analysis of that option.
- notdonspaulding 10y agoFor reference, in the unlicensed Ubiquiti gear that I've used, the point-to-multipoint latency is variable with the signal quality of the connected stations. If all client stations have good, clear signals, the latency is around 1-2ms. But that can spike quickly if you're dealing with interference or other causes of low SNR.
- jlgaddis 10y agoKeep in mind that in 3-5 years or so (as bandwidth demand per-user doubles), you get to rip all that gear out and replace it with new gear that can provide more bandwidth.
