Well done Ronan. I don't know anyone from Ballyhaunis but I do know someone in the (very general) area & up to now they've been pretty sure they'll never see any kind of broadband. Community initiatives like this will probably give a lot of hope to those not in the major towns and cities.

Ronan|Raven

Im from Xmyself and there seems to be a great level of interst in both of the towns. I havent seen the piece yet as Ive been sorting out the post bank holiday mess At least it is going to give the people who dont live in mass population centers a chance to avail of an affordable always on connection. Even if DSL was available in this area id reckon most would fail the line test as the lines are split all over the place. Hmm I should have ran infront of the camera and ripped the head off a Toy Rat

Pld Ronan im sure you will soon have it in at home for me to uhm "Test" rar

Mr.M

Just saw it on the 9 O'clock news, well done, it's great news, hopefully we can get this deployed everywhere in the country.

the reporter on the news was sickening badly informed though, with his opening spiel going on about

"such high tech technology like ISDN will never be available here, so broadband is out of the reach of ..."

Ronan|Raven

Very true nahdonic. i noticed that about the ISDN point he made second I heard it, as i type this im on ISDN lol. Ah well reporters eh.

In regards to your question Mr. M it will be a number of months before the service is fully running. All the relevant details will be on the website once it us up and running

Mr.M

@Ronan
whats the web site address?

PiE

Heh, an eircom "wake up to broadband" ad on while the clip is loading. Oh the irony.

I found the reference to ISDN as a "high tech" technology more laughable than the reporter being misinformed about the availability of it :]

spongebob

Lastmile (JW) are the Irish agent for which equipment supplier Ronan ?

Congrats and happy rat killing in Ros.

Ronan|Raven

Tbh pie where he got the information about the availability of ISDN is something that I do not know. There seemed to be a few "flaws" in the report but I suppose some media coverage is better than none. I also had a chortle at the eircom broadband splash at the beginning ofthe clip

Muck I dont know whom they are the official suppliers for I assume it is on their website. [edit]not very helpful I know[/edit]

spongebob

thanks

Probably this Kit here. Remember that Wimax is good for Roscommon

open real player and copy and paste whats below

rtsp://streaming2.rte.ie/2003/0603/9news56.rm

very poor quality.
also lacking the eircom ad.
skip to 26mins and 33 secs for the story.

Well done Ronan|Raven.

Ronan|Raven

Sorry about not having all the exact details to hand theres so many of them I cant remember them all That and im half asleep here. I know they have Redline and other companies are on their partners page. All the relevant information for the project should be up on a dedicated site as soon as it is live I will post back the url's for anyone interested.

Last Mile Wireless have dealerships with Redline Communications and Proxim. This'll most likely be the equipment used in Ballinlough/Ballyhaunis.

Urban Weigl

Proxim is going to be used (Smartbridges did not work very well in that the base station locked up with more than 20 users connected simultaneously). Redline will probably be used for backhaul to bypass having to get an Eircom leased line. At least that was one idea.

Check out the Proxim Tsunami MP.11 multi point family:
