Chuck, I saw your post on the WISPA FB page about clones of these discontinued APC products being in production now. I seem to remember you sold off your metal fab business (MTOWs and stuff) and were doing microtrenching blades now. Are you making these products, or is it whoever took over the

Nate, If you want to message me I can draw you up the concept on how PON is designed. Not sure you want to be doing 1x4 splits in a small area (that's probably too much light) and it seems like a waste of splice labor. We drill everything - I can't imagine micro trenching and fixing the road mak

I built Google Fiber in Salt Lake City. You would be hard pressed to know where we did the construction if I didn’t point it out to you. NO MESS. No damage to the street. It does not suffer in any way. No start and end holes and mud in the gutter like HDD. It is not road patch. It is con

Actually my metal fab is larger than ever: www.microtrench.pro Just could not afford to do the tower mounts with the much better products I do now. Needed the floor space and resources. And yes, we still do all the PCBs and surge products. The racks and subbed out to a sheet metal shop.

You don’t have any additional issues fixing the road with microtrenching. It is much faster and cheaper and less messy than drilling. Some of my customers have microtrenched over 6000’ in a single shift. Try that will HDD. The conduit is placed at the bottom of the roadbase. Absolutely no

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. On Tue, Nov 5, 2024 at 5:43 PM Nate Burke wro
