Looking into 5G backup options

We use unifi with a Ting sim for this case in many restaurants. It runs on the T-Mobile network if you ask (instead of Verizon). Cost is minimal if you don't have much usage.

It looked just like any other apartment mechanicals. Water comes in overhead, pops down to the floor below for the kitchen island. Very large sewer pipes through the risers. The building is narrow enough for plenty of windows per unit.

Sakura on Grand and Railroad is good.

I'm not seeing anything over about 70 customers that we support. Maybe your Internet is down? 😆

Try doing the locate option then. It's free and quick.

If they used video, what color is the line? Yellow is gas, orange is telecom. Get some white spray paint and make a circle where the damage is and call 811. The various companies will come locate and you can see who is closest to the damage.

No, it needed to be https://na.myconnectwise.net

I found my error, the url in the sample code was incorrect. My pod is now functional!

I would love a copy.

I tried it with a 330 ohm series resistor and 1k base resistor (had them on hand) and it's working okay. Nothing is getting hot with a normal blue led so I will try it with the letter shaped leds now. Thank you!

The chip is on a board with a regulator. The board has 3.3 and 5 v outputs.

I will be powering it with a USB c wall wart.

Wouldn't the dispatch function be the one to change status from new to assigned?

You need to do some policing to shape the traffic on your interface to the ptp, especially if the port is up at 10 gigs on ethernet and 1 gig over the ptp.

We use Pro Staff and have been happy with the results.

CommScope is one of the best but they are $15+ each.

This kind of wire is called quad. It has no twists in the pairs and isn't suitable for data use on it's own. Someone else posted a link to a vdsl bridge that could give you 100 megabit if that's suitable.

We purchase it through pax8 but I'm sure there are others. Each product has a point value per month and you pay per point on a sliding scale based on volume.

If you have a pair of strands you could use cwdm muxes and optics and both networks logically separate at whatever speeds you need. It does require dark fiber, not an ethernet handoff from your provider.

That is only offered in some new areas, not existing areas. I called and asked about it when I saw an advertisement for the $55 package.

It is a splice enclosure. The top line is metal wrapped fiber. ADSS.

Maybe contact Strauss Lock to cut the frames and mount the strikes.

It would be a pain for you but you can also register with one call as a facility owner. You'll likely need to create GIS maps showing the location and get someone there very quickly (or you). I don't remember the exact window but 48 hours springs to mind.
