Hello Bryan, The G.711 codec uses 64 kbps (roughly 87.2 kbps with the overhead). So let's just go with an over estimate of 100 kbps. In this example, if your node were connected to 1 other node for 24 hours straight, the amount of data usage would be roughly equal to 1.03 Gigabytes. This is assuming your not using the bandwidth for anything else. Choosing to use a higher compression codec would significantly reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed by your node connections. An average may be hard to come up with. Some systems have multiple persistent connections going at all times. Other systems may be lucky to get 10 hours of connection time a month. I believe these numbers are within the ballpark, but someone please let me know if I'm off somewhere. Thanks! On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 1:36 PM, Bryan D. Boyle <bdboyle@bdboyle.com> wrote:
has anyone done a study to discover the monthly bandwidth usage (24x7xdays in month) of an average (if such a thing exists) repeater system?
Reason I'm asking is I have a site for which there is no possibility of getting wired internet access, and may not work, due to physical interference, of standing up a 5.8 shot back to our hub site. This leaves a hotspot or commercial 4G access point...and want to make sure we aren't going to be bumping against traffic caps or excess data charges.
How have others handled this?
