I think it will work. Here is how I would do it. D------------------W------------NOC-----------MV aPPO+aPPO-CB aPPO+aPPO-CB aPPO+aPPO aPPO-CB+aPPO

The configuration I have goes something like this: D----W----NOC----MV It is nine miles between each of these points. Right now I have a T1 running from D to W where it hooks into a Cisco AS 5248. It then runs from W to NOC where it hooks into another 5248 and ultimately gets routed out to the Internet. I have another T1 that runs ~ from MV back to NOC configured the same way. Each of these locations is a POP for dialup. In D I have 24 dialup lines. 24 in W, and 24 in MV (I have 48 in MV but don't use but about 20 at a time....long story :) So assuming worst case I'd have 48 modems running between W and NOC simultaneously. Of course I'd want to put up an AP on top of wherever I put the APPOs so you'd have to add in that traffic. I would expect within a year to have at most 30 customers at 256 down/128 up in D and somewhat smaller number in W since there is DSL there already. That would mean about 2.6 Mb of dialup traffic between W and NOC (again, if all 24 modems in both D and W were going at once - unlikely), plus whatever broadband I'd have running through it. Do you see any issues with performance if I do this? As I mentioned I have T1s now, which are full duplex. The APPO will be half, but can carry what, 5.5 MB in each direction? - far more than the T1. I'd like to remove the phone company expense, but want to make sure my customers will be unable to tell any difference in throughput. Also, I'd like to use APPO as opposed to 5.8 GHz due to the cost. And, even given some of the recent issues with APPO, I have found them to be more reliable (IMO) that the YDI 5.8 radios I was using. I'd appreciate any thoughts from those more experienced than me on this (which is probably just about all of you. :) Thanks Sam The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
