Well, if you slice up a pie everybody gets pie, but if you slice up a football then nobody can play. If you’re looking at a rural community with a few hundred to a couple thousand households, and you make service open access then there may be not enough customers for any one provider to buil

Well, how small is small? If you only need to do transport and electronics, that gets a lot easier. If you only need to do transport, that gets even easier. Also, you'll always need some amount of scale to be relevant. There is at least one company building open-access fiber in urban market

Alpha FXM-2000 was our go-to solution, but they are discontinued now. We have one Newmar AC-UPS-48-2000 in the field and it has been fine so far. I've never looked for anything over 2000 watts on an AC UPS; DC seems like a far better option for that much power. On Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 11:16 AM M
