Re: Can someone explain why they cant make smaller cabinets?

said by Logan 5:

Seems like they could if they really wanted to with the current technology to miniaturize.

It would be a no brainer to get people to adopt their technology on their property easier if the box was semi-buried or the size of a microwave not an upright fridge.......
I'd suspect heat and power concerns. We don't know what the power requirement is nor how much room is required for all the gear. Tighter you make the confines the less margin for error. Also as equipment changes its a heck of a lot easier to add things if an enclosure is half full versus trying to get something the size of a fridge down to a microwave oven size.

I really don't see the size of the cabinets getting much smaller. Sure, you can go with a smaller shelf, but who would want to only serve a few homes and have 3 cabinets per mile. When you can install the current size cabinets and serve customers for a mile in 4 directions. There is a lot of fixed costs that enter into each and every cabinet placed. The providers have to keep the number of cabinets to a minimum and the serving area to a maximum.
