If I am closer than 20 feet to the asphalt of a state highway or interstate, I have to be at 5 feet. That takes a D9.

We do have pretty favorable soil for plowing in most cases, only occasional rocks and the plow can usually pull them up. Usually sandy soil which plows great, sometimes clay which can be slow going but still plows OK. We never pre-rip. We don't have goohers, do have ground hogs though. The one cut we've had so far was due to a ground hog trying to move in to a washed out area around a failed drain pipe that exposed our cable underground. Most other existing utilities in our area are direct buried in rural areas. New fiber is put in conduit sometimes, depends on the utility. Many miles of telco and catv fiber direct buried though.

My cost for plowing is more like <50 cents per foot with our in house crew, figuring 2000ft per day. On Wed, Aug 29, 2018, 8:51 PM Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: Do you use direct burial? I do conduit. 30 cents per foot minimum. Add at least $2/foot for plowing. All in, maybe $3/foot and that is if I am doing my own plowing and splicing.

We will be continuing to deploy GPON going forward. For us, the biggest advantage are ability to use small strand count cable which saves cost on material and also lets you serve a larger radius from a cabinet with the same size feeder cables (same # of strands in cabinet). And larger radius served means less power feeds to pay for and worry about backup power for. We push the strand savings to the extreme using the optical tap split method, and often serve many miles of homes using 18 cents per foot 12F drop cable.

So you have to connect the drop to either a splitter or an SFP. With AE you will have to power the switch but then you have no shared bandwidth, it has market cache vs shared bandwidth old fashioned GPON etc...

If a new 30-house subdivision appears in a field a few miles from your headend, and you have a spare 10 strands going out there, you only need to use 2-3 strands instead of running new 48-strand cable the whole way.

It is brain dead simple to configure. Since it “Just Works” there isn’t a lot to configure. The ONU (cpe) can run in bridge or router mode. I’m not sure what the routing/NAT speeds are capable of but it will do 1G in bridge mode without breaking a sweat.
