If we need to call "lent" on discussion a well established fact like the holocaust then we're doomed. Up is down, black is white, all fact and truth are irrelevant.

I’ve never understood those people – my dad was in the Army in WWII and participated in liberating some concentration camps. I mean, it’s a freakin’ fact, how can you deny facts. Anyway, my recollection of Professor Butz was I had a friend who kept writing the name as “Prof. Butts” on his assignments and tests. We kept telling him it was spelled Butz but he thought we were joking. Brings new meaning to the expression “butt of a joke”.

I'm sure they'll pick WiFi because it'll be cheaper, but I wanted to put all the cards on the table. As far as why I'm bothering to propose fiber: 1) If there's fiber to the power pedestal, and each ped (or every other ped) has it's own little router with it's own SSID and key, then there's a security benefit vs having everybody in the park be able to sniff traffic from each other's devices. 2) We could track any illegal/bad/weird activity to a specific RV site (or at least to the proximity of one). 3) The changing positions and occupancy of RV sites won't affect anybody's WiFi because their WiFi will be right next to them no matter what. Neither will the growth of trees hurt them. 4) No capacity issue in the park (and the feed TO the park can of course always be upgraded). 5) Infinitely upgrade-able. 6) We have all the equipment and personnel and we want to use them. There's an indefinite amount of work for them expanding and improving our own network, but if they do it for the campground we can bill them out. -Adam On 6/11/2020 5:48 PM, Matt Hoppes wrote: Why are you doing fiber? We have a 300 unit RV park where everyone is required to stream over the Internet, no satellite dishes are allowed. It works absolutely fine and everything is back hauled wirelessly to the sectors that cover several RV campers.

I just thought it would be nice to have the option to plug in a cable. I did find a comms enclosure that bolts onto the back side of the RV power ped. http://www.rvparksupplies.com/p/ACCESSBOXPHONECABLE/. <http://www.rvparksupplies.com/p/ACCESSBOXPHONECABLE/> Waiting for them to send me more details, but I think that might give me a place for the ONT, and incidentally there appear to be two keystone jacks in it. My two reasons for suggesting this approach are that each RV gets their own WiFi instead of sharing it with everybody around them, and if there was ever a law enforcement issue we could track the usage to a particular site rather than just "somewhere in the park".

I'm imagining I'd end with a WiFi enabled ONT in a box, on a post next to their power and water hookups. I'd want the campers to be able to plug Ethernet in at the box if they have the wherewithal to do so. And if they don't then they have their own private WiFi right outside their RV. ....of course I could get little Hoffman boxes and put this together, but I'm betting someone must have made a product for this already. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list. ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
