Ok -- back in South Florida today and was working in a building with a sprint (well nextel) & AT&T/cingular cell site.... this is the sprint (nextel) room (which i might add was VERY tidy and pretty) -- keep in mind this entire site was the old (legacy) iDEN stuff -- which is pretty much only used for Nextel's direct connect feature.... (beep beep)....

Nice.

I saw the first photos with the back view of the gear. I was like hey thats a piece of Motorola gear maybe a site controller or similar.

Sure enough!

Shot 9 shows the site controllers.

By the way that is a NEXTEL site and a lot of that RG400 is Ethernet cabling not RF.

Just out of curiosity,

What kind of data transfer rates are those devices doing internally.. If it's running ethernet cable am I correct in assuming it's 10/100 or gig-a-bit...

Regards

Probably 10Mbps but I'd have to check with one of our techs.

Most of the old coax networks (think 10Base/2) were 10 meg. Pretty slow by today's standards. Hell we have residential WAN connections faster than that now.

This is indeed pretty interesting to see.

And that 10mbit/sec (1.25mbyte/sec) was shared amongst ALL PCs and devices connected to that network segment. During busy times you'd notice it.

And to think we graduated to 10 meg hubs after the ring networks faded away. Though they had their own advantages.
