[1st-mile-nm] This is what a Gig looks like or Another Gig building in downtown ABQ

[John Brown]

Just connected another building in downtown ABQ with a Gig of service.
This speed test is via a NAT'd connection, so the slight drop in speed
is because
of the clients NAT router..

All using open source based tools, technologies and products.

using simple passive optics we can upgrade the building to 10Gig, by
simply changing out
the SFP's to SFP+.  About $200 in cost to do that......

What is really neat is we will shortly be leveraging Juniper's vSRX
platform to handle network security on a per port basis for each
tenant in the building.  This will save the customer on
firewall hardware / maint costs.  They also won't have to do
technology upgrades every few years.
Another huge savings.

Coming soon (like 2 weeks) we will turn up our first 2.5Gb/s wireless
link to a commercial tenant,
followed by a 5Gb/s link in June
