Broadband Upgrades report extreem speeds!

With speeds seen up to 8 megabit, the new system out performs the old 40 to 1. The fiber did improve the quality and reduced the latency. The goal was to replace older copper based facilities with faster gigabit connections, and fiber just made the most sense.

Onsite contracts are now available for a 35 mile radius covering Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Hutto, Taylor, Thrall, Thorndale, Paige, Giddings*, Bastrop, Dell Valley and surrounding areas.

The center has expanded its service bench area 300 percent and rebuilt the facility to yield the highest per square foot electronic & computer repair center. The new design gave the group 300 percent more usable lighted shelving, and once the used stuff is gone , its all replaced with new technology, and the refurbished gear will be reworked and donated to the ECN, created by TAN last quarter to recenter it's wireless position and develop an independent wireless and technology platforms, for the local community. The center supplies services as computer repair, custom computer builds, computer evaluations, and can build any type of home to enterprise business network project.

Global resources From Wireless, IPTV, Dialup and now VOIP, the shop will carry only approved services from approved vendors. The outlet will also sport phones, new Trinity 855 G3/4 phones, satellite TV and electronics for the holidays this year.

Water Tower Move Creates Elgin Community Network Node


As TAN and EISD worked together to keep TAN's wireless network alive this summer, the group was tossed a difficult task, of migrating all the wireless users with as little disruption to service as possible. After a week of mounting and remounting gear, the MicroCell is complete and sports a new back haul to its existing downtown network. They do anticipate some small outage early to late PM as TXU powers off the power and moves the facilities. At that time we will remove the last facilities and start moving the wireless clients afected over to their temporary service Home: AKA Tower 3. Once the water tower is cleaned ( lead removal) and painted and power is restored we will restore equipment/service on tower.

The Tower3 facilities (upon approval) after completion will be converted into a community meshed network node, where mobile clients from the school district can use Wifi for short range VOIP wireless calls. The facilities will be refitted with MobileMesh technology to provide community network mesh formula. The community network will be given an interface to add, remove and bill users. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a local community project for learning challenged children.

We are extremely happy to share technology and resources. We look back on the first labs we helped build in EISD, and how that one investment to me was priceless, and how it gave our youth a technical challenge - learning networking, web development and certified network certification upon completing proper testing. This program gave countless opportunities to several young people locally to jump into high tech industry jobs and even some use those skills even in our Armed Forces today.

As we look into the looking glass of technology we both feel that sharing resources can provide more information for everyone, and start working on redundant connections, bypassing local teclo related trunks and outages completely.

Press Release - Bastrop TX Chosen for Next Generation Network Operation Center



After a year of debates ,planning and development, Total Access Networks Inc chooses to expand and build a network operation center in Bastrop Texas. The existing NOC's in Elgin TX and Austin NOC's will be reviewed ,condensed and compacted into our next generation voice , video, and data service combo systems by end of the year 2007. We will be converting all pre-existing clients for free first, and all work is done remotely, with no truck roll needed.

The new system will house an emergency power station with power from DC cells , auto start generators , and power from the city and an alternative carrier. Will provide free peering with TAN-NAP clients.
See COOP area of forum.

Our power investment would mean larger power resources available for 911 and emergency responders in Bastrop Texas area if we share technology and resources. TAN will sell backup power, and bandwidth at Bastrop NOC by early 2008 via fiber.

"Bastrop was the best place where the fiber can help the network and County the most. Total Access Networks Inc signed a deal today to bring gigabit fiber optics to it's Bastrop located next at the Bastrop tower.

The location was chosen , even thought the cost of delivering Fiber was more expensive, after engineering showed the new system plans and it was decided to build the new center with a private power station.

"We were successful in acquiring a secure pad location onsite in Bastrop area near where we currently deploy service from. This allows both networks to be overlapped and clients to be moved one at a time from the old to the new network with up to 300 time the capacity and speed exceeding any current needs. Redundant Fiber Gigabit loops with routed via BGP from multi-homed carriers and redundant paths providing service level agreement to meet growing network needs. Support for our new video center being built in fall 2008 is included." "Our goal here was to establish stability needed to replace older copper based backbones with gigabit fiber loops" Stated Green ."All existing NOC facilities will be reviewed for consolidation after the new facility is up and running and routing traffic.

Total Access Networks Chooses OpenDNS; Passes Speedy, Safe, Reliable DNS on to Internet Users Worldwide

Total Access Networks Chooses OpenDNS; Passes Speedy, Safe, Reliable DNS on to Internet Users Worldwide

Internet reseller sending 1 million DNS requests to OpenDNS daily

SAN FRANCISCO – May 7, 2007 – OpenDNS, the DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced Total Access Networks Inc. is using OpenDNS to offload the 1 million DNS requests hitting its in-house cluster of servers daily, saving resources and CPU process time and providing an overall better Internet experience for its broadband and wireless clients. Total Access is a leading provider of managed Internet services and connectivity for thousands of individuals and organizations worldwide. OpenDNS is the world’s-largest, fastest-growing DNS service.

Texas-based Total Access selected OpenDNS over BIND and other internal and external options because it gives Total Access a clear edge over competition – it’s free and its feature set far exceeds anything else offered with a DNS service.

"While my competitors fight to learn DNS, they waste valuable resources," said Ted Green, CEO of Total Access. "With OpenDNS we have been able to complete several internal and external Internet projects that had been sitting on the back burner, since all of our resources are not tied up correcting issues with faulty DNS. Getting the projects completed means we provide a better service. We get back to installing, doing what we do best, and let OpenDNS handle the DNS from this point out."

Unlike other services that take weeks to deploy, it took only days to get OpenDNS completely up and running for all networks managed by Total Access. The Internet reseller now successfully sends 1 million requests daily to the OpenDNS servers and is pleased to know OpenDNS is entirely scalable - the more people using OpenDNS, the more addresses its caches are holding at any given time and the faster lookups resolve. Since its launch in June 2006, OpenDNS has delivered 100 percent uptime.

"I personally checked out OpenDNS and was blown away by the results," said Green. "No matter how small or big your company grows, DNS is a foundation staple of every ISP environment. We are excited to have OpenDNS as a service partner providing high-quality, fast DNS services to my customers around the world."

NexGen OLSR Mesh Unit Released

NexGen OLSR Mesh Unit Released . Mesh allows radios to interconnect building redundant paths. OLSR has some unque features. The package is supported on Windows, MAC, Linux (several distros and more) so expanding it into your community network may be a plus.

here is a blurp from OSLR.org:

The olsr.org OLSR daemon is an implementation of the Optimized Link State Routing protocol. OLSR is a routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. The protocol is pro-active, table driven and utilizes a technique called multipoint relaying for message flooding. olsrd also implements a popular optional link quality extension. Currently the implementation compiles on GNU/Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD systems. Olsrd is ment to be a well structured and well coded implementation that should be easy to maintain, expand and port to other platforms. The implementation is RFC3626 compliant with respect to both core and auxiliary functioning. Olsrd supports use of loadable plugins. These can be used to to handle and generate custom packettypes to be carried by OLSRs MPR flooding scheme or for any other desired functioning.

http://olsr.org/index.cgi?action=doc

docs on OLSR. Looks interesting!
