- This was a fun and different project for me. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot more of these in the future and it was a fantastic learning experience for me.
For those of you interested, I am using the Ubiquiti Powerbeam antenna (PBE-5AC-500) here. Considering it has a 25Km range, 0.8 miles was no sweat! - Наука та технологія
So many tech-net channels out there with staged installs/remediation/repairs, cuts, edits and redos. The number one reason I subscribed to this channel and keep coming back,...because it's real. A real tech, real world problems, making a living, solving issues, creating things and helping people utilize the technology that is available to them. Keep up the good work on the front lines of IT. #dashboardbearclaw
word!
That's a very insightful comment I had never realized! Thanks so much for helping me understand the sudden popularity of my channel!! It really was a mystery to me. I will make every effort to keep this going --and love the hashtag!
This. Hands-on, elbows-deep practical tech vs. sanitized, staged, theoretical tech. Each of these videos gives me practical insights from job sites I haven't visited.
I work in the carrier ethernet world. It's nice to see what my customer's network could look like. It really ties things together.
This guy is a lifesaver, need more real life projects like this. Can anyone recommend any others out in YT city that give real classes like this???
Even though the video is six years old, it remains enjoyable to watch. I appreciated every moment of it.
This is what college does NOT teach! :) I'm learning so much watching your videos and am so great-full for what you're teaching. Theory is great, but seeing things in practice is 10x better.
I work in the Telecommunications industry myself as a network designer. Done a few years on the field as a copper technician, then moved onto fiber network design. I got involved with alot of point to point designs for various customers. These days I am based on FTTH/FTTP roll out project (Referred to as UFB over here) that is happening here in New Zealand. Always nice to see someone posting good telco related videos on UA-cam and seeing how the network styles/techniques vary across the world. Keep up the good work :3
To this Video I would like to say, that I had loved some Speed tests between the building afterwards. According to you plans building your garage into a studio I would like to say this: what I like at your channel is the real-life aspect. All this insights into companies and there cabeling is what it makes interesting for the viewer. How you deal with all these individual challenges captures the viewer. Its like you are taking us on a journey and no one knows what will happen today. I realy like that. Also I feel realy confirmed about doing proper cable-management while watching you. There are so many people on youtube that do showcase- unboxing and show off all kind of stuff in a clean, dustfree environment, such as Hard, Software or elektrical Stuff in general. I dont want you to become just another one of these guys. don't give up on your unique selling point and that is in my opinion, bring insight into real-world customer situations. best regards Michael
That's a very interesting insight. Frankly, I had been wondering where all the attention has come from here! I will say this: the vast majority of "training" or "tutorial" videos out there on this subject are horrible! I'm going to keep shooting these sorts of videos but I definitely feel the need to go back and do some basics in a much better way than what I see now!!
Can't agree more
remember, building up and mainting the studio also costs time and money. Hope you make the right dicision. Michael
the best training/tutorial for me is when you are out there doing stuff. Anyone can show loads of stuff in the studio. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree. This was a very good video (although I personally could've done with a bit less of the AutoCad stuff, especially given that you ended up not using it, but each to their own!) I would, however, very much like to have seen what was on the other end of the cable(s) in terms of the electronics and power for transmitting / receiving the radio signal. A final speed test would also have been cool, as well as any information on whether the weather affects the signal? Perhaps a follow-up video now it's been in operation for 6 months or so? How has it performed? Is the customer still happy? Etc.
Dude, your videos ROCK. I just discovered your channel a couple days ago, and I’ve been addicted since!
As a newcomer to the networking field, it’s nice to see someone who is willing to break down their projects and show the reality of installation!
Enjoyed the video. I especially love seeing people who take pride in their work and are willing to take the time to do things right!
I like that you take your time to do things right. You would be surprised how many contractors take shortcuts and do a crappy job just to get paid and run.
It's good to watch a professional who cares about how his work will look even years down the road.
As a WISP tech, I was surprised into how much trouble you went with the preparation. With these point to point links (we use mainly between AP sites) we usually just check with Ubiquiti's AirLink software if there's any major obstruction, and if the conditions are ideal (i.e. the Fresnel-zone is intact) what kind of a signal strength should we expect.
But obviously with those PowerBeam 400s or 500s you should have no problems for that short of a distance. Btw, I loved the super neat cabling, hats off for that :)
Well this was my first install of this kind. I've come close to doing some of these installs in the years past but the jobs fell through. I wanted to be super-prepared for this project and pretty much expect to be doing a bunch more of these in the future. I'll have to look into this AirLink software you mention... Thx!!
It was wise to overprepare for this job, the number of things that could make it not work were really huge. Solid work as usual.
Love the idea of a studio for teaching the basics. Keep up the great work!
Another great video. Love the "real" or genuine aspect of your videos. In today's corporate world where technicians are rated on how many service calls they take per hour, it's no wonder that cable management (and other proper installation techniques) takes a back seat. Thanks for showing how it should be done in this and other videos.
fiberninja videos are the best. It's crazy I follow you are dirtmonkey which is a landscape contractor in Minnesota.
I love to see professionals that care about their work standard and professionalism over all other factors.
AW YEAH, FN at it again. *sits back and learns*
Indeed, saw the title and knew it was gonna be a good one!
Congratulations! Take from a guy who spent 35 years cabling voice and data locations, you do some impressive work. As I always told other workers when they were assisting me, You do your job and walk away, the customer has to look at your work everyday...and he's the one that will refer you to other customers. The only thing I noticed is that you did not label your data locations or junction boxes. especially when you are sharing them with other services.
I'm a network admin for a school board.
Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Learned a lot.
You're one of my new favorite channels to watch, love what you do, love the feedback you get (and give), just an overall great learning experience.
Amazing as always! The detail, the DETAIL :) How many of you feel like you are actually there with FN on these jobs?? I will always be a loyal subscriber!!
I'm Brazilian and I'm starting my internet company, I currently have 70 clients and I love working with networks. I really like your videos
How do u start a isp?
@@mousejjt2 its Brazil anything goes.
Oh boy , I'm looking for a channel like this with real world application and real world problems..Your fan from the Philippines.I love how you implement those wirings and wireless implementation. Maybe you can add also all the equipments you use for reference and link it to your amazon affiliates(If there's any) that will be a big help also to get some cut from those sales..Keep up the good work sir very informative..
Great stuff! Personally and professionally, this is very appealing. Looking forward to future tutorials. Thanks again for this.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I've learned more from watching your videos than I ever did when I went to school for computer networking. Awesome video and I can't wait to see the upcoming ones. Keep them coming!! Ubiquiti stuff is amazing...even for silly home users like myself hehe. Comcast wouldn't know what to do if they saw my home network lol.
Yet another beautiful job done the right way the 1st time! You don't know how much you help me get threw life watching your videos so thank you so much!
I enjoyed your "Fixed Wireless Install" video. It was a pleasant surprise that you used Ubiquiti equipment since I have recently deployed a Point to Multipoint link using there products. Thanks for doing an install without a deep dive into radio theory and link engineering.
This guy should run for IT-world president. It needs to be a thing if it isn't.
Im worried that somebody will replace the air conditioner and sever the internet line because its just a non-descript box on the outside that looks like part of the original AC. Shoulda wrote something on it or Labeled it INTERNET, not for HVAC.
Now that so many people here have mentioned it, I'm worried that someone would be that dumb.
People surprise me everyday.. Go back and label it.
Ideally make sure its a label that wont fade, also, put labels and info inside the box so if they open it and the outside label is faded, they will still see it.
Another thing I have used before is plastic label tags, you could tag the eth cable going out with a yellow one stating internet as a backup.... Likely-hood, someone will still mess that up one day haha
Having heard stories about incompetent HVAC installers would make me worry too. No doubt some of these guys will just chop through a bundle of cables assuming they are all thermostat wire. You probably should label the wire and include a note on the inside of the conduit box.
A T1 engineer in fancy dress as an aircon guy?
Only a dumb person would mix their wiring with someone else's. I have seen where you separate data from voice. If I am changing out an A/C unit I don't have time to undue someone else's stuff. A crane will cost $500 to a $1000 per hour or if using a helicopter upwards of $4000 to $5000 per hour. We will cut wires as we are going to run new wires anyway. Everyone should keep their stuff separate from the other guy. Then there are no dumb people.
You are a true professional, sir. Good day to you.
Really glad to see another video. The notifications from UA-cam about your channel always brighten my day.
Looking forward to you next upload. Have a great week Mr. Ninja :)
As someone who has dabbled in IT hardware installs and wireless too especially I love these videos! Last one I did was about a year ago, pair of AvaLAN 5.8GHz 800 Megabit units to cross a street. Been running great ever since.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing! I learn so much from your experience!
I just found your channel and I had a nerdgasm 11 minutes in, please continue to produce content, can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!
Having worked for a TV install company in the past, I would just like to point out that most companies do not provide or recomend all the parts that would be needed to install the way you did. Most TV companies pay by the job,(not the hour)and there is no going to home depot to buy parts. You use what the company gives to you, do your install, and move on with your day. I enjoy the hell out of your videos man. Keep it up.
+DoubleTWC Well thanks for the kind words! I figured as much when it comes to other installs. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why dish installers only adhere to NEC grounding specs and not NFPA. Maybe it's not considered an antenna mast? IDK
..
FiberNinja hey! If you have time could you upload more videos please?
Did the company require licensing or certification for installers?
Great to see you were not keen to be that guy!!!! I really respect that. This kind of P2P connection has such a vast array of scenarios where it may be of use. I am from Australia and like America we can have vast spaces that may not have a suitable connection. Great work well done looking forward to seeing more, especially projects with scope to the domestic user etc.
Thanks for video, as always love to see a true professional at work. Keep up the great work!
Great stuff, always learning from you FiberNinja. Great to see someone using Ubiquiti gear, I think their gear is fantastic. I use it when ever I can.
Cheers for a good explanation and quality install.
Explaining the circumstances and thought process is a good addition!
Love this video due to the fact it is real world and also a step by step for outdoor installation with the Ubiquiti products. Keep up the good work. You got yourself a new subscriber as well and will continue to follow you and your videos.
Damn elegant. Thank you for your vid, process, and values.
You are a master of your craft, sir.
Great video as always! Keep up the good work! I enjoy wireless network setups like these a lot, so this was a joy for me :D
Awesome to see- thank you for sharing! I'm all for the home / garage studio.
Nice video... I like the dedication and care you take in your work. I too have seen lousy cabling jobs before and have always wanted to fix them. One company I worked at had cable in the wall that was not unpacked off the boxed spool correctly so it twisted up onto itself, the patch panel had about an inch and a half of bare wire at terminations and the main line feeding the separate Sales location had a line that crossed directly over a high powered sodium shop light fixture.
Just an FYI, Probably about the same time that Directv dish was installed, was about the same time I did some part time work for a Satellite internet provider. I was paid $125 for an install, that included 100' of cable, one wall penetration for service, anchoring every 10', and a wall mountable dish. Anything extra like working through plenums was an upcharge to the customer. I always offered, but I think I had 2 customers in all that time that paid for an attic run/wall fish. Typical job was about 3.5 hours plus travel. I was told the protocol was about the same for sat TV, but they got paid less, although the job was proportionally shorter.
Also have installed similar systems like this, and during your CAD portion, I was already talking back in time to you how that wouldn't be necessary to be so engineered...I was so glad you did the test mock up!
In the future consider a "non-penetrating roof mount" for satellite dish. It can offer you another option rather than needing walls. A quality upgrade is to take an old tire and cut it into squares and use them under the angle iron of the mount to offer the water path and keep the steel from sitting in a water puddle. Also dont forget to ground them....
I agonized over this episode probably more than any other. I was conflicted about just what to say regarding all that previous work because I know just what you're talking about. The fact that I am an independent, give me a lot of freedoms to chose how I want to uuld something that few have. But it really boiled down to showing that shoddy work is only a good idea if you never ever expect to return to the job site again.
@@FiberNinjaStudios LOL, surprised you responded...I didn't think you went overboard about it, It is crap workmanship. The problem is when people think that is a "good" standard. Love the channel, lots of good info, solid values, good humor, stellar humility! Thanks!
You sir ROCK, keep up the nice content i really loved the Zip ties with the loop first time seeing them 😊😊😀
A professional offering this solution to a client. Thats really weird but I like it. I could see someone do it to a friend tho! "Hey dude I know how you can share the internet from your work to you r home LOL"
I like the dura-block recycled rubber roof standoff blocks. The Arlington electric also makes a great variety of sizes of "rooftoppers".
Great video, really enjoyed it, At first I didn't think I was gonna watch the whole thing but I did, it kept me watching it. now I'm interested in the antennas details, to make my own and have internet at work which is about 0.6 miles away, thanks for the video. keep up the good work.
can't wait to see you new setup. I love you went with ubnt they are the best.
Dear FiberNinja,
We miss you.
Love,
Everyone
Another great install. Thanks for sharing. The tech you are using looks nice too. There might be another video or two on equipment set up and configuration.
I love your videos Fiber Ninja, so interesting and I learn so much.
Always happy to see an upload by you :)!
Very well executed and presented. Thanks for sharing!
Great job. I've been doing microwave backhauls for quite some years now, and I fully concur with your decisions about the cable run. The wireless link worked, Google Earth helps a lot when finding azimuth, but a proper alignment with RF alignment tools is a must for fine azimuth and tilt tuning in order to achieve the best throughput and less dBi loss in the process. Personally I would've preferred to use a 25G 10-ft tower section, that would've result in better dish stability than a mast. Antenna brand selection (Ubiquiti) is okay too. Anyway, great job. Thank you for your videos.
Great work Jon! Ubiquiti makes some nice equipment. I've installed a PtMP but it was their legacy hardware NSM5.
Love the video I would have loved to see a speed test between the point to point. Its so refreshing to see some one else that takes the care to do runs properly. Keep up the great content!
I did a speedtest at 25Mb at the receiving side (which was exactly what their broadband connection was offering at the moment). Throughput between the antennas was coming up at 150Mb after installation was complete.
cool what was the equipment used in the point to point? Im thinking abought doing a point to point for my father between my house and his
I think I have the part number in the video description.
Nice to see Ubiquiti site-to-site equipment. Luckily I live in an area where FTTH has actually picked up some competition (I live in Quito, Ecuador). Absolutely agree with the 'do it the right way' approach. The brand you never mentioned, has a similar reputation here and although there was no danger of the water ingress due to bad installation practice here (concrete everything), the idea of just throwing cables over the edge is common here. Other cable TV companies all do the same. And for a cable that drops 15-20 meters (x3 for ft roughly), to not even secure it in place actually broke a window during a storm.
I know you don't put out weekly or daily videos, but the videos you do put out, are great to see how things should be done. It shows care and pride in how you do your job as a pro. Keep up the good work :)
Awesome video and your cable routing has no equal btw. Keep it coming!
Great , professional and clean job :) KEEP UP !
Cool stuff. I've been thinking of setting one of these up for my wife's business. Before there was a hill in the way so I decided not to but now there is just a three story building so it is good to see that we may be fine.
I subscribed to your channel because of the video of the office where you ( The two hour video ) had to go in the crawl space, nice work you do. So I watched a second one where you have the old switches balanced on boxes. I manage IT for a multi-location retailer on the East Coast and I know IT pretty well after doing it for 20 years but I periodically have to pull wire. I do my best, but as your videos point out there is a lot of prep to do it right. Not only are you extremely professional in wiring you are really impressive with your systems knowledge. "I don't want to be that Guy" would be a great T-shirt logo for your channel. Glad to hear you're building that studio!
The studio idea is great, you should absolutely go for it!!
Wow, i had no idea a point to point wireless bridge could go that far reliably, amazing stuff!
Many thanks for your insight in such installs from Athens
love the video's! helps me a lot learning how to do this kind of stuff properly! you have really great tips! keep up the good work! greetings from the Netherlands
Great Video!!! I loved it, keep them coming!!
Amazing Install! Nice Channel. As a Fiber Technician this seems nice and way easier to install then fiber.
I just setup one of these on a job site temporarily for a couple month. I was surprised also how well it worked with no precise aiming. I couldn't see exactly where the other antenna was because of another trailer next to me. The other antenna at the office was just pointed to where i thought the other one was and works great with no tweaking. I'm getting full connectivity but the distance is probably .5 km. I'm just sharing files from my office to the other office that has the internet. I also bought a Nanobeam ac 19 which also works very good. You may of got away using one of these also, super light and easy to mount. Nice video what you did.
I've installed Nanobeams before too. I'm sure I would have gotten away with it but I didn't want to take any chances with this install. Their cost was also fairly low so it wasn't that much of an extra expense.
FiberNinja Yeah, fair enough. The price wasn't much more for the Powerbeam. I bought the Powerbeam the first time because I couldn't get my hands on the nanobeam. They seem to be a hot item.
Really good and serious job. Kudos!
Thanks for the detailed video I've been doing a lot of research into ubiquiti looking to network my parents farm couple of houses only about 1KM apart
hey, it's been long while I dropped a comment :) very clean and professional job! I love you ideas on the dishes for Wi-Fi to building to building. I hadn't thought about that in long time!!! I'm surprised that the server room is unimpressive at all. the fact they didn't want to re do the designs to make it efficiently. that would drive me mad!!! Lol. awesome video as always. look forward to next one!
its ninja time!!! you are awesome master. cant wait to watch your future content!
Good job looking forward to more video`s like this
I found the video very interesting with the added plus of learning about fixings and installation. BTW I am not in the business, I just have a thirst for knowing how things are done. Thanks for making the video.
Directional Wi-Fi is awesome! I install loads of these things :D Great job!
A very neat install. Nice to see you take pride in your work. Just a good practice thing when running conduit or cables into water proof boxes, try to avoid running things into the top of the box. Overtime rubber seals can fail and then water gets in. If you use side or bottom entry, the water/rain will run away from the cable entries.
I think most people do a bad job because they just don’t have the knowledge like you. Your ability to think and solve problems goes beyond the average tech person.
Epic! Wow that's a lot of planning
Ubiquiti rocks! I'm starting my third install soon :)
Love your videos, looking forward to garage studio
Amazing work! Hello from Singapore.
lets see more videos man ! i want to see some more videos from your work like this ! they are so good
I have used and installed those Ubiquiti fixed wireless at my work, they are a nice option when existing infrastructure is really hard to rewire long distances.
I did one of these setup back in 2010 for our offices, turned out terrible. And we are closer together, but the signal was not reliable, of and the snow..ugh. That knocked it out completely. Live and learn.
Have you tried recently? They make better versions now.
great work as always! keep it up!
Awesome Video excellent video keep up the awesome work, Bless Up
- Sam K.
Thank you for your service!
For sealing/caulking outside I suggest discontinuing using silicone caulk and use OSI Quad available at many home stores or ABC Supply. It stays soft and flexible rubber like, cleans up and smoothed with mineral Spirits and it's available in about 4 trillion colors. It's definitely supierior to silicone.
At a mile you should be getting 350 Mb/s with that setup. I would put the tower up to reduce potential obstructions. Additionally raising your tower up will remove potential wifi and other RF noise from buildings in the area.
FYI, I've been doing PTP radios for a while with my longest runs being 90Km LOS and 115Km near LOS over and around 10 and 14k elevations.
as always; pure awesomeness!
Really enjoyed this!
Hey man! Love your channel and I'm learning a lot! If you do a studio I would love to see some tuts on fiber and copper termination. I'm an old school cable jock, I helped install cat 5 at my college back in the 90s and now that my kids are older, I'd like to get back into it. keep up the great work! (I'd also be interested in the nuts and bolts of how you bid jobs/do estimates/etc) ☮
Excellent installation
I hope you are still making videos!!!! I really do enjoy your channel.
Great job, man! ✋
Very clean install; my one suggestion would be rather than tying into a third party-maintained system (the HVAC), how hard would it be to install a new vertical roof penetration (preferably a short piece of conduit pipe) and waterproof it? My concern with third party systems is that one day some maintainer might come along and say "what the heck is this?" and cut it.
It would have been very hard. The second floor is now an apartment and all access to the inside of the roof area is completely closed out. Also, the conduit runs to the first floor are similarly difficult to access and add to without a fairly destructive / intrusive effort. This business kept running without interruption while I worked and ran this new line. Trust me, I would have loved to keep my equipment separated. But the thought of an HVAC tech ripping out a cable because he can't figure out that it runs to an antenna a few feet away is pretty hilarious...
Fair enough on the access - I see that often where businesses share a building. (I guess I got the idea that they were big enough to own both buildings from your map)
If you're using a wireless link to keep costs down, the first rule is: don't mess with the roof. Voiding a roof's warranty alone can get you sued; and if you habitually put holes in roofs and "waterproof" them, the cost of the liability insurance you will have to carry against water damage will go (wait for it) through the roof. The HVAC guys can build that cost into their $$$$$ systems; if you do that with $$$ wireless systems, suddenly they're $$$$ wireless systems, and your competition will thank you.
If you want independent egress, come out through the wall in conduit, run it up the side of the building and onto the roof, and exit through a weatherhead (or tie directly into a NEMA enclosure).
True enough. The thing is a lot of building owners let their roofs go out of warranty or otherwise void it during needed repairs of other systems. What good is a waterproof roof if the HVAC unit mounted on it has to be replaced, and the original unit was mounted on (now rotted) wooden ties? Even if the replacement is "flawless", if the roof installer is not notified the warranty can become void. (check out the other clauses in most roofing contracts like "acts of God", etc)
I was kind of sad that we did not get to see the network equipment on either end
No it wasn't! The equipment at either end is fairly unimpressive to see!! I actually offered to re-do some of it but they weren't interested.
The only device that's on either end to power it is a poe injector. It still amazes me that Directional Wi-fi can travel such distance!
I work with Cambium radios. We are preparing to install a 23.5 mile link, which is nothing for them. Cambium's longest radio link was 245 km, from Pikes Peak to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
@@brianschoenrock601 Cambium is awesome, we've used em at the local ISP for p2p link and some p2mp. cheap and efficient compared to licensed millimeter links. slower but alot cheaper.
You make it so complicated for something so simple. One advice, mark cables you add with other equipment like the air-conditioner. If that thing has problems the tech might wonder what cable that is, and might cut it off as it is not a part of it. I've seen it happen.
WOW, that was nice! setup wish we could have seen the screen test results , when you were aligning
