Hi Everyone,
Can a dry loop be ordered for point to point access. Let's say between North
York and Down Town Toronto? Aim is to create a private network or heck even
take advantage of the fast internet service available at 151 Front Street.
I understand that there are limitations to DSL technology with distance but
won't the repeaters in between solve that issue?
Furthermore, by this request am I looking into something like DSLAM hire from
Bell facility? If so, can you guide to CRTC approved tariffs for it?
Thanks a bunch,
Bruce
Not likely. You can at best get a pair to your central office. Years
ago, copper pairs were commonly used for DS1 (T1) circuits at 1.544 Mb/s
(1.536 usable) and they needed repeaters about every 6000' IIRC. If you
want to go faster than that, you'd need fibre and you'd also be talking
about lots of money. If you have line of site, you can set up a short
haul microwave link. These are available in both licenced and
unlicenced bands. The greatest distance I've covered on short haul
microwave is from American Dr. & Viscount Rd., in Malton to West Drive &
Clark Blvd. in Brampton with a licenced system, but the equipment used
was capable of about 40 Km. Again, you're talking a lot of money.
Unlicenced systems can be cheaper, but also have much shorter range.
