This looks very interesting. What equipment is needed at the headend?
Just something simliar to put the RF signal on the fiber?

What would you call this $10 device?

Nate, If they want to keep the clearQAM video feed in place, that
is pretty straightforward to do via RF overlay on top of a GPON
or XGSPON Network. A couple pieces of equipment at the headend
and a $10 optical receiver at each house. No STB required.

The Boss and I are having an arug^H^H^H^H Discussion about
installing
fiber in a campground (Mostly permanent Singlewide units).
He thinks
that it would be too difficult to do. I contend that with
Microtrenching down the campground roads, this would be the
perfect
deployment for Gpon Fiber.
Campsites are concrete pad Road to road, no dirt runs between
multiple
trailers without lots of concrete cutting. So at most there
would be 2
trailers fed off each duct drop from the asphalt road.
When you do microtrenching, do you just do a bunch of
microduct, then
break off a microduct whenever you need it? There would
probably be ~20
microducts that could run out of a central Handhole at the
end of the
street, and feed both sides of the street for 40 trailers.
20 trailers
per side, 10 microduct drops per side 1 microduct feeding 2
trailers.
Is that too many for a microtrench?
There is an existing coax cable plant, installed in the early
80's that
is bandaided together to provide Docsis at about 10mb/5mb,
with many
many outages. All utilities are private, unmarked, and
sometimes near
the surface.
The microtrenching videos make it looks like you just advance
down the
street at a few feet per minute, with a fixed road behind
you. Is it
not that simple? I'm thinking the whole campground of 1500
spots could
be installed in a few weeks.
Anyone done campground deployments? Tree coverage makes RF
not as
feasible. Downside of fiber is that there are a handful of
clearQAM TV
Channel on the existing coax plant. That's much harder to do
with fiber
without some sort of STB agreement.
