I can suggest you three approaches. For these three options I can send my local franchise guy to setup the whole thing and maintain.
a. BSNL Airfiber with free calling and
TV (Yupptv Scope)
b. BSNL FTTH with free calling and Yupptv scope app.
c. Private FTTH with voice calling and IPTV.
a. BSNL Airfiber:
If the tower was close by, say 5-6kms, I would have guaranteed network availability. 14km with the terrain of Sringeri can be really tricky. Do you have any hill nearby where we can make a mini tower and do a PtP link from the main BTS?. From that hill one can make PtMP. How far are each homes?.
Don’t expect franchise to invest money from his pocket and maintain. It’s not financially viable with BSNL. Setting up BSNL Airfiber with one 120 degree sector antenna from
Ubiquiti,
Mikrotik LAN Switch, separate power backup (don’t trust BSNL for backup), wiring and labour will cost ₹1,00,000. Customer side cost extra. Powerbeam will cost ₹11,000 or so. Litebeam ₹7000 approx. If you can find 20 customers or so, you can get network for ₹15-20k per customer. This will work 24*7 during rain too. Have Airfiber at our farm somewhere in Mangaluru. Zero downtime.
b. BSNL FTTH:
Since there is a exchange without tower, this can be explored as well. A good OLT will cost ₹150,000 or so. Cables ₹10 per meter for the 4 pair ones. ONU of decent quality ₹2000. Splicing machine I , OTDR extra, electricity pole annual fees to be paid to electricity supply company @₹100 per pole per year extra. Ftth will work out if there are like 100+ customers in a 5-6kms road distance and willing to pay ₹10-20k each.
BSNL is recommended only if your region has stable power supply. Though we can put dedicated
ups for franchise side equipment, we can’t do anything for their CPAN. If that goes down your network will go down.
c. Private FTTH
If your area has any Airtel tower or any other private tower/UG backhaul nearby (except Jio), we can explore private FTTH option from reputed Class A/B ISPs through franchise route. The quality of network will be ten times better than BSNL. Native iptv can be availed as well.
