IP Dslams

Tue Jan 1 12:19:18 UTC 2019

Firstly, thanks everyone for replies.

@Carl:  ADSL2 dslams would no doubt be cheaper than VDSL for retirement
village, and as a retirement village, residents must be 65+, therefor, they
wont have high bandwidth needs, based on their other much older properties,
their residents use between 2 and 15GB a month, with an average of 5GB, so
VDSL -if not the same cost as ADSL2 dslams, would be a waste, and from my
experience ADSL2 is more stable over distances, where the furthest villas
are 800 meters away from comms room.

As for phones, we are installing a PBXact1000, and for the villas, we will
be using a bunch of Vega 3050 50 port Analogue gateways talking to it.
These villas are stand alone duplexes, so running ethernet is not feasible
They have a PMS which takes care of billing, although if they do what do at
other places they run, residents are usually given a 30 dollar a month call
credit which is likely included in their monthly "complex maintenance" fees.
