I am currently supplying internet to a couple wind farm construction projects.
These projects have no use for wireless otherwise, since they wish to bury fiber in the same routes as the power cabling. The management system will be agreggated in a small hut and then they want fiber to that point, and if not fiber, solid copper to the hut from the outside world. I'm not sure that this applies to all wind farm companies. This one seems to throw money far and wide with little regard for costs, and then hired a management company to squeeze the contractors. In other words, they're generous with the locals, but will do near anything to cheat the contractors. Seems counterproductive, but, hey, that's just the contractor's word on the topic. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rogelio" <scubac...@gmail.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 12:39 AM Subject: [WISPA] stimulus money for wind farms to build wireless >I recently met someone who told me that wind farm projects are awesome > wireless opportunities, particularly now that they're becoming eligible > for stimulus money. > > Those I've been talking to from the wind farms say that they're looking > for something fast, reliable, and cheaper than fiber, particularly > something that will support VoIP for technicians in the field. > > Is this what others in the WISP market are seeing? > > (This is a vertical that I know very little about, but I thought I'd > share it with others here who might be looking for new business. > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WISPA Wants You!
