Re: Cisco LRE ( Long Reach Ethernet ) [7:30553]
We just did our first install of LRE for a hotel in North West Florida. Works great. The only big issue was the integration of the LRE splitter box in between the PBX and the hotel wiring. Having someone who can work the frame room is a plus. Phil Chuck Larrieu wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Is it slow at work today or what?

Re: Cisco LRE ( Long Reach Ethernet ) [7:30553]
Most local Cisco office have been demo'ing LRE for a few months now. My local office has a demostration kit consisting of a piece of plywood with 3 foot lenths of the following wires connected together: Cat5, Cat3, House Grade wiring used for outlets, and Barbed Wire used in barnyard around the country.

For those without the benefit of the prices to hand: The 24 port 2924 LRE switches work out at around 4000 GBP list and the 575 termination boxes work out at under 200 GBP list (surprisingly for Cisco) Suppose it depends on how much upheaval you will save by using it.

Re: Cisco LRE ( Long Reach Ethernet ) [7:30553]
Yeah chuck: We have been looking into this for some time, Cisco has you thinking it's new but it aint. You use existing phone jacks and wiring and a little box figures it all out. One freq for data one for voice on the same wire. There is a standard called home-phone/rf (or some such thing I forget) I could get the name if you want. The driving datalink for us is DOCSIS to the MDU or Institution or even a SFD (single family dwelling w/multiple connections) but then what to do to reach the cpe, options are; Extend the HFC to the set-top (ie. cable TV). NAAA Wireless through the facility. Well maybe, we'll see I think dinosaurs have blue-teeth but c'mon 802.11 Use existing phone wiring.I like!
