If you take out "bitrate, split ratio, cross vendor compatibility and purchase price differences" then what else would you like to compare or know? Those would be the major differences I would say. We only deploy GPON here. I would say in a system like GEPON or GPON where a port is shared between

The solution for selling 1G internet with EPON could be 10GEPON. This is still cheaper than GPON. The idea is that the ONU has a cheap standard 1G transmitter. Apparently you can make a 10G receiver very cheap, it is the transmitter that is expensive. So it is 10G downstream and 1G upstream. With

There are also services that do it for you. In my day job (Transit related software), we use textmarks.com to provide interactive transit information ("where's my bus" kinds of things) via interactive SMS. Not particularly expensive. On 1/6/16 2:36 PM, David Hubbard wrote: Hey all, was

The problem with Internet-based services is that they depend on the very thing most of us are trying to monitor. For reliable SMS you need out-of-band text transmission at least, and ideally out-of-band TCP/IP data. So far cellular modems provide lots of options for the latter, but I've seen

The specific phrase you’ll want to use with your VZ rep is a “machine to machine” plan. It’s the same type of plans alarm companies purchase for cell-backups. They have plans with data allowances as low as 1 MB/month for a few dollars, but you get destroyed if you go over the plan because the

David, Thanks for those pointers. The "mega bill" problem is one I have to avoid. We used to use ISDN as backup to T1 circuits, but had to abandon that after some wayward fail-overs resulted in $5000 phone bills. I'll check the plan overage terms carefully! -mel
