Case Study - UNM - Transmission Media (Cont.)
Small (less than a dozen or so people), hard to get to buildings
- Not rewired.
- Cost of pulling fiber to such buildings usually exceeded $30,000, even if “right of ways” could be obtained.
- More cost effective to use modems (33.6 Kbps or even 56Kbps) in such cases.
- Too few users to have “economies of scale” even for some of the wireless technologies.
