Uplink internet connection #34
Comments
|
Contacted Stephan again (he didn't answer the email last time) to ask, how they managed to get Telekom LTE for the conference. Will keep you posted. |
|
Will someone contact one of the providers? I mean... LTE might be okayish - but for that our WiFi system is a overkill :D |
|
I just remembered: As we use the CCCMZ WiFi system, we can only support two uplink routers. So if we go with LTE, we are limited in regards of uplink routers. (Or if we bundle DSL uplinks, which could also work) |
|
If you need it - we've bought 3 of those http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00CTIKXR6/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 On Jun 25, 2013, at 10:16 AM, Tim Buchwaldt notifications@github.com wrote:

Nice. |
|
@koos Thanks :) We got the big package by CCCMZ, which uses the pro-version of the APs, which are not quite compatible. But if we find the usecase, we will let you know (wrong issue, btw :D ) |
|
okay

Wer hatte denn jetzt den Internet-Hut, der @timbuchwaldt ? 😄 |
|
Nobody in particular wanted to put on the the "internet hat" and I can't blame people for that. This is currently probably the most difficult and most important organizational task that we have for Railscamp, we need all the help we can get from anybody. I will personally see that anybody who can help us get a somwhat decent internet connection to the Abenteuerhalle, will get all the recognition he/she deserves and more. @koos yes please, we need that contact at the Telekom. Contacting the contact would be even more awesome. |
|
Status update:
Can anybody else please try to contact the Telekom or Vodafone about potential LTE connections? Maybe @seanlilmateus can ask again? That would be really awesome! Or @namxam? |
|
I got answer from NetCologne and they said that we definitely won't get more than 4 Mbit bandwith out of the connection at the venue. Theoretically one could do something with SDSL to get 20 Mbit, but the price for that would go into the thousands, and 20 Mbit isn't that much either for 200 people. 😢 |
|
Oh shit 😿 |
|
I already ordered 3 seperate telephone lines.

|
Please keep in mind: we need a special router then that bundles the uplink. |
@koos What does that mean exactly? That we don't need to get something else? We need to know details asap, if we have to bundle lines etc. |
|
We should have a backup. I'll call Netcologne tomorrow and ask about the progress. On Jul 6, 2013, at 3:09 PM, Sebastian Kippe notifications@github.com wrote:

I have called viprinet on Friday (they sponsor the evoke and organize the I also contacted Vodafone about LTE and they are supposed to call me back Also contacted the Telekom Hotline and they told me to got to a T-Punkt On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 12:29 AM, Jan notifications@github.com wrote:

I got an reply from Vodafone and it seems unlikely that we will be able to get something from them, because they don't offer rented short-term LTE as a product, but they forwarded our request from their sales to the marketing department. |

Ich war gerade bei dem 4010 Telekom Laden auf der Ehrenstraße. Wir werden sehen... |
|
You da man! |
|
@DonSchado Und? Was neues? 😄 |
|
Nope :( will da nochmal jemand hinfahren? |
|
Rufe gleich da an und berichte... edit: jo, muss einer hinfahren, Telefon können die nicht... |
|
War gerade da. Telekom/4010 is durch. "Hier gibt's nur Verträge, n Kontakt nach Bonn haben wir hier nicht... wenn sich bisher keiner bei ihnen gemeldet hat, können wir ihnen da wohl nicht helfen..." Sollen's mal über die Mobilefunk-Business Hotline versuchen: 0800-3302828 Naja, hat sonst noch jemand noch ne Idee? :) |
|
AFAIK the two things left are:
I think we should really start building up a Plan b. I suggested setting up a Ruby Gems Mirror (via rubygems-mirror and geminabox) plus Git(lab – maybe plus Gitlab CI) server. @timbuchwaldt really liked the idea and volunteered to set it up. We now only need a server for that. It's not an alternative to an internet connection, but rather something to make slow / no internet less painful. |
|
maybe put the ruby core docs and rails api docs on that server too |
|
Twitter-bootstrap maybe? |
|
@koos You just mentioned https://github.com/sebastian instead of the one you meant. ;) Anyway, it looks like the paid-for LTE will even be within our budget if all goes well. |
|
The FH Koeln is also next to the Studentenwerk, maybe ask some of their Computer Science students, if they have any? |
|
@tisba totally agree! and this event is one of the most open and collaborative events that I know. note is already out. what else could be communicated? |
|
@eimann Can you find out if there's a direct line of sight to the Abenteuerhallen? |
|
@skddc it should work, even without a direct line of sight (trees are ok, buildings not so much), it's roughly 1.5km. I just don't have a contact at the FH yet who can arrange an Ethernet-Port + rooftop access. |
|
@koos of course. The issue is that internet connectivity for such an event in cologne is taken for granted. I'm just saying it should be made clear to everyone beforehand so that they can decide if it is okay for them or not. @bumi I missed the announcement on twitter and the blog (didn't even noticed before that there is a blog) and a couple of others I know off missed it to. Long story short: It looks like I am the only one participating in this issue who thinks that having internet connectivity will assumed by most participants, so I'll shut up and hope for the best. |
|
That wi-fi connection looks doable, and universities have proper uplinks. This could be gold! How do we proceed? |
|
I'm just trying to figure out whom to contact there. And as @bumi QSC might be an option too, it should be in reach for their Wireless Local Loop product. I've asked a contact there if it's possible and how long they need to get it up & running. |
|
(Just a note about @tisba s comment: should the internet still be problematic or off the table on monday, I strongly vote in favor of informing the participants directly/via e-mail of this so they can take appropriate measures) |
|
Go, @eimann, go! :D |
|
Agreeing with @thegcat here. A blog post and a tweet containing a "cry for help" with the internet issue is not a clear communication to the attendees that there might be limited to no internet connectivity. If I hadn't looked at the issues here I wouldn't know that this might be an issue and I think a lot of people just bought a ticket without checking in here. |
|
Everybody calm down, please! There will be Internet at venue. The question is only how fast exactly and how expensive it'll be. We also just received word from the LTE/router provider that it's going to be much cheaper to set up than what the first offer was. |
|
I'm also working on getting it from my friend or from the trash chic via
|

Since it seems not unlikely that we might be able to get some sort of guerilla Richtfunk connection in place on way or the other, where exactly do we get the equipment from? Form Berlin @thilo ? Or from the CCC where we get the wifi equipment @timbuchwaldt ? Or @eimann you said you would able to "sponsor appropiate equipment for the weekend" ? Please get back to me on how this could happen and what the capabilities of the equipment are. Besides that it's final that we will get a 6 port Viprinet router/bundler from http://tividoo.eu. It is equipped with 2 LTE modules (Vodafone with 10GB data inclusive & Telekom with 5GB inclusive) and after that it is unfortunately 8,50€/GB. It also has 2 DSL modules and 2 ethernet modules for potential Richtfunk. |
|
@jhilden we will sponsor Router + 2x 65cm dishes with radio module each (up to 30km with line of sight, 100Mbps), a /22 IPv4 network and a /48 IPv6 network via that router |
|
@eimann awesome. You're the man! What company should I put on the sponsors page of our website? Now we only have to find a place to set it up, but we are on it and maybe more people can help as well. When could you & the equipment be in Cologne next week? Friday morning would be good. |
|
@badboy and myself will be in Cologne on 26th at 1100 (or earlier, but I don't think this will work due to traffic) |
|
Hey. Short update: I've contacted one of the Prof's from FH-Köln. He will contact some other persons and/or the Campus IT to figure out how if we can solve the problem. This is how it could looks like http://goo.gl/maps/MtRgt |
|
@koos Anything new on that? Would be good to have a contact person on friday. |
|
Yeah, would be great to have a backup uplink, and it seems like this is very doable and there's already contact with the right people. Maybe he can give us email addresses or phone numbers of the IT dept? |
|
If we don't have a contact over there, who will give us access to the roof, it wouldn't make sense for us to come all the way to cologne (and I could stay in the pool the whole friday ☀️ 🏊 ) |
|
We have visited the FH's IT department today, but it didn't seem very likely that they want to help us. Rooftop access shouldn't be a problem, but if they don't give us the necessary access to their network it doesn't look so good. |
|
First feedback from FH-Köln: they are able to support us. On Jul 23, 2013, at 5:18 PM, Jakob Hilden notifications@github.com wrote:

We succeeded, @railscamp does have working Internet now. |

You rock!! 🚀 |

What @moonglum said! |

We nee somebody to talk to all the companies that could help us in getting a decent internet connection to the Abenteuerhalle.
Options to check would be:
There is a separate issue #9 dealing with setting up the local wifi, that has a lot of additional useful information.
