I have searched all over the place. most of the information that I find is 10 years old or older and mostly deals with Dial up.
I have recently been tasked with finding out what equipment would be needed to start an ISP. The end users/ customers would need to be able to use 1.5, 5, 10 mbps (possibly Higher). They are thinking of for 10,000 users (Which I think is WAY too high).
It is my understanding that the following would be needed:
Multiple T3 or OC3 Lines
Access Switch
Hub
Dns Server
Email Server
Web Browsing Server
Routers / Sitches
Need to lease lines from upstream providers.
Additional Items
Backup Generator
HVAC Cooling System
Then the other obvious items of building/employees etc.
Can anyone add additional information on things that I am missing or what equipment you would recommend? Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
