Sorry about the links not working. Try this one, in case you were searching for one concerning IFITL. Message 10094099 "The FCO can be supported with mini-FCOs as the system penetrates." Okay, I see the level of utility you're referring to now, and they do exist already, only they're called controlled environmental vaults, in many instances. And there are smaller enclosures as well, right down to the pedestal we often speak about. And there will always be need for repair depots, field admin units, and office parcels which could be leveraged by routes, as well. My points in the upstream post were directed at main central office buildings and enclosures, not these others of lesser significance. Here's a link that takes you to a Nortel version of the CEV:nortelnetworks.com These are concrete containers, usually, which are situated underground which allow for power stationing, and field cross-connecting and splicing and housing for other network elements. Another example of something similar to this is the classic field "quansut hut" arrangement which has been used as repeater sites for decades in remote locations. Although many of those have been, and continue to be, replaced by CEVs. An ideal situation which I tried unsuccessfully to talk a friend into, who is buying up wireless radio towers, is to situate new towers atop of CEVs where it makes sense, or have the CEVs be a part of the base of the tower, when those towers are situtated in deep rural areas."To say the least it renders it moot." Short to intermediate term, I don't know.. during tactical combat times such as we have now. Longer term, I believe you're dead on. Absolutely.
