$40 to $80 per location per month should do the trick. My old High
School is doing this with me and I am charging $250 per month contract
to service about 6 buildings. They get connectivity every place they
want and I get a monthly fee to keep it running. By the way, I retain
ownership of all outdoor equipment on this network and they keep inside
equipment as their own. If their gear breaks they pay to replace. If my
gear breaks it is my problem. This allows you to use the outside gear
for other possible networks and such.if you desire.
Cheers,

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
