Some new buildings are deploying fiber. A few buildings have Cat 5 wiring.<BR/><BR/>The MOCA approach that Geoff mentions is particularly good for Verizon's service, because it uses the RF spectrum for broadcast channels.Bob Larribeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007028096493888683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470368625289588135.post-32527566714564135322007-07-11T04:13:00.000-07:002007-07-11T04:13:00.000-07:00Geoff forrester saidlook to companies like corinex...Geoff forrester said<BR/>look to companies like corinex.com ,mutli-let and mocca to lead the way in ethernet over coax soltions.<BR/>MDUs often have 20 suites per coax rum in a cascaded wiring configuration . There exists 200mbps solutions for this common type of cabling scheme which is sufficient for IPTV and easier to deploy than vdsl in retrofit propertiesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671361603291869887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470368625289588135.post-12577724690800342712007-03-28T11:40:00.000-07:002007-03-28T11:40:00.000-07:00I don't have an estimate on the number of MDUs tha...I don't have an estimate on the number of MDUs that do not have coax. I expect it is pretty small. <BR/>The cable companies probably installed coax in nearly all buildings to provide access to their services.<BR/><BR/>I wonder about using coax to serve an entire building. The coax may already be occupied by the cable service. I am also not sure how the coax plant in a building will support a separate LAN for each living unit. It is much clearer how VDSL and fiber will work.Bob Larribeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007028096493888683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2470368625289588135.post-25464279396528890842007-03-28T11:01:00.000-07:002007-03-28T11:01:00.000-07:00BobIn the article, the VZ guy was quoted saying th...Bob<BR/><BR/>In the article, the VZ guy was quoted saying they would prefer use Coax befor using VDSL. Only when there's no Coax wiring, will they deploy FiOS via VDSL.<BR/>Can you give us an estimate of the precentage of MDUs that don't have Coax wirings but only have copper wires? <BR/>What makes them prefer Coax over copper?<BR/><BR/>TIAUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706183512326131955noreply@blogger.com
