The system will be mine. But by the time it gets pulled out it's likely to
be pretty obsolete.
Equipment costs will be handled separately from the service contract.

Marlon,
A you going to keep ownership of the equipment and just provide them
with a connectivity solution; or, are you going to pass ownership to
them and just maintain the system for them?

Subject: [WISPA] service contract prices
Hi All,
I've been asked to provide a network for a complex of buildings.
They like the ease of deployment and flexibility of a Trango based
network.
I'll lock them into a 3 year contract that will match the time frame
I'll
need for a bank loan for the hardware.
I'll need to put in 3 ap's and 4 cpe units. As well as battery backup
units
all installation work etc. Additional cpe is possible but not
guaranteed in
the future.
My question is, what do I charge for this? I can handle the monthly
part
but I've never put a service contract on a wlan before. Used to do it
in my
copier days all the time so I understand the concept. Just need some
help
with the numbers.
The site is about 1.5 hours from me, and that far from anyone else that
knows anything about anything too. I believe that the contract price
should
be tied to cpe deployed.
Too low and any repair work, device failures etc. will kill me. Too
high
and I'll loose the deal. What's standard in the industry? As I'll be
using
Trango I'll hopefully be giving them 8 to 9 megs of throughput (all
sites
are within 1/8th of a mile) from building to building. I'll likely only
contract for 6 megs though.
thanks,
Marlon
