POWER IS THE PRINCIPAL OPERATIONAL PROBLEM, NOT BANDWIDTH
Equipment must run continuously and grid supply does not. Size batteries for realistic outages, monitor power status remotely, and replace batteries on schedule — they degrade silently and fail exactly when needed.
VERIFY THAT REDUNDANT CIRCUITS TAKE GENUINELY DIFFERENT PHYSICAL PATHS, BECAUSE TWO CIRCUITS SHARING A ROUTE FAIL TOGETHER
MONITOR PEAK UTILISATION, NOT AVERAGE, AND ADD CAPACITY BEFORE IT SATURATES
Averages conceal congestion. Subscribers leave during congestion and they do not come back.
KNOWING ABOUT AN OUTAGE BEFORE SUBSCRIBERS DO IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INCIDENT AND A CRISIS
Proactive notification cuts support volume sharply, because subscribers tolerate outages they were told about and will not tolerate silence.
CHANGE DEFAULT CREDENTIALS ON EVERY DEVICE AND RESTRICT MANAGEMENT ACCESS, SINCE UNCHANGED DEFAULTS ARE THE COMMONEST ROUTE IN
SEAL EVERY OUTDOOR CONNECTION PROPERLY, BECAUSE WATER INGRESS AT CONNECTORS IS WHAT DEGRADES WIRELESS LINKS OVER TIME
WHEN RESELLING, ESTABLISH THAT SUBSCRIBERS ARE CONTRACTUALLY YOURS — AN ARRANGEMENT WHERE THE UPSTREAM OWNS THE CUSTOMER LEAVES YOU WITH NOTHING
CALCULATE WHETHER SUBSCRIBERS STAY LONG ENOUGH TO RECOVER INSTALLATION COST, OR GROWTH ITSELF LOSES MONEY
AND FILL EXISTING COVERAGE BEFORE EXTENDING IT, BECAUSE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY BUILT AND DENSITY IS THE CHEAPEST MARGIN YOU WILL EVER GAIN
