Connect every six houses to an Ethernet switch and VDSL bridge
attachment:housePolypipe1.png

Insert the AWG26 TwistedPair into a 15mm LDPE(Irrigation black pipe) and run it on top of the joint perimeter wall of everybody as a temporary measure. Every six houses are connected via CAT-5 to a switch housed inside the ServingAreaInterface(purple box). The CAT-5 cable is inserted into LDPE pipe and buried below ground with a walk-behind VibratoryPlow(green line on image).

The switch connects to a VDSL/Ethernet bridge CPE unit as described on DsLam housed inside the ServingAreaInterface(purple box). Via TwistedPair the CPE interfaces to the CentralOffice VDSL bridge. A hole is bored through the wall at the joint perimeters through which the LDPE is inserted. Wholesale CAT-5 cable are available to CCs at FiberAndCopper.

Thus if there are 60 houses between two streets then 10 VDSL (CPE),10 VDSL (CO) and 10 Ethernet networks SwiTch will be used. The advantage of a VDSL bridge($85) is it's extremely low cost compared to a DsLam($540). See HardWare for details on installing computer equipment outside. LDPE on the wall is a great way of demonstrating the concept of a community telephone exchange. The 15mm pipe will last for three years after which it can be replaced. The wires inside have been shielded from the suns harmful rays and are re-used. A more permanent setup are implemented via TelephoneNetworkRollout.
