WISP company

Depending on what you mean by small.

Its technically illegal to run a wisp without an ECS and ECNS license from icasa but if you only connecting about 20 clients, you won't be caught or shouldn't be worried. The licensing will cost R22000

I suggest starting a wisp with ubiquiti gear. Great and easy setup.

Im starting my own small WISP
MikroTik RB 951UI-2HND router Giving out pppoe authentication to clients
And a Dlink router for our house.

Still need to buy a ubiquiti sector antenna but im recieving my internet with a ubiquiti powerbeam 5ac iso gen 2 antenna.

Gonna take another 2 or so weeks


My main plan is to get everything working and run it for about 2 months... If my calculations are correct after 3 months I'll have enough funds to obtain a license and start a company so that its a legal operation.

Currently running at a stable 200mbps.

And note that not everyone will use 100% of their bandwidth at 1 time, so i can split about 400Mbps into 10,20,30 and 50mbps packages.

10: R750
20: 850
30: 950
50: 1150

(R100 per 10mbps extra)

All packages are uncapped, unshaped, unthrottled and all are symmetrical packages e.g 30mbps down and 30mbps up

Ill be distributing the internet with a ubiquiti litebeam 5ac 16 120 sector antenna and nanostation loco ac as CPE.

My main goal is to make no profit, just dedicate all the income to obtaining a license. Quite worried about running the wisp without one

That’s the risks we have to take in order to gain financial independence.

How you going to split the speed ?

True man..

This is the current setup. That top router is a mikrotik RB 951UI-2HND router.

Im using it as a local PPPoE server to create individual local IP addresses and networks for each client. I can then assign a bandwidth cap to the pppoe username it generates.

Oh yeh.. Also after 12am to 5am ill have 100mbps to all clients open to use where their cap does not apply. IMG_20180915_122646.jpeg
 
Love it how they don't even price their stuff correctly. They seem like smart people... Unless a renewal is 6 rand and 9 centsIMG_a31qxp.jpeg
