Access Point Site Inspection at Purok Boongon, Tabuelan, Cebu.
Introduction.
A site inspection was conducted at Purok Boongon, Tabuelan, Cebu to evaluate the feasibility of extending an existing Starlink internet connection to nearby households through structured networking solutions. The inspection focused on identifying the most practical, stable, and efficient method of providing internet access to neighboring residences while considering distance, signal reliability, installation time, and long-term performance. This initiative aims to improve connectivity in the area by leveraging existing infrastructure and proposing scalable solutions that meet the client’s needs.
Identified Issue and Proposed Network Setup.
During the site visit, it was confirmed that one residence in the area already has a functioning Starlink internet connection. Nearby neighbors expressed interest in connecting to this existing service due to limited or unreliable internet options in their location. The primary challenge identified was how to distribute the internet connection effectively across multiple properties while maintaining acceptable speed, stability, and network performance, especially given the distance involved for some of the neighbors.
To address the identified issue, the team assessed multiple connection methods and developed a proposal that includes both wired and wireless solutions, each tailored to the specific distance and environment of the neighboring houses.
Primary Neighbor Connection.
For the first neighboring house, the recommended setup involves connecting directly from the Starlink source using an access point paired with Cat6 Ethernet cabling. This wired approach is ideal for short to moderate distances, as Cat6 cables are capable of supporting high-speed data transmission with minimal interference. By using an access point, the network can be properly managed and optimized, ensuring stable connectivity, consistent bandwidth, and ease of future maintenance. This solution provides a reliable foundation for extending the network further to other neighbors if needed.
Second Neighbor – Primary Option: Fiber Cabling Conversion.
The first and most recommended option for the second neighboring house is the use of fiber optic cabling conversion. Given the approximately 300-meter distance involved, fiber cabling is the most suitable solution, as it is designed to handle long-distance data transmission without significant signal loss. This setup ensures that internet speed and performance remain consistent, even over extended distances.
Additionally, fiber cabling is less susceptible to electrical interference and environmental factors, making it a more durable and future-proof solution. Although this option may require more time, materials, and labor during installation, it offers superior reliability and long-term value.
Second Neighbor – Alternative Option: Wireless Point-to-Point Connection.
The second option for the second neighbor involves establishing a wireless point-to-point connection using two dedicated wireless devices configured to communicate with each other over a distance of 300 meters. This approach is less time-consuming to install and may reduce initial costs, as it eliminates the need for extensive cabling work.
However, this option is considered less reliable due to potential signal obstruction, weather conditions, and interference from surrounding structures or vegetation. While it can function effectively under ideal conditions, its performance may fluctuate, making it a more uncertain solution compared to fiber cabling.
Project Status.
Following the site inspection and technical assessment, the team prepared and submitted a detailed proposal to the client. The proposal outlines the identified issues, recommended solutions, available options, and the advantages and limitations of each approach. At present, the team is awaiting the client’s review and approval before proceeding with procurement and installation.
Conclusion.
In conclusion, the site inspection at Purok Boongon, Tabuelan, Cebu successfully identified practical methods for extending a Starlink internet connection to neighboring households. While multiple solutions are available, fiber optic cabling remains the most reliable and performance-oriented option for long-distance connectivity, with wireless point-to-point serving as a faster but more uncertain alternative. Upon client approval, the proposed setup will significantly enhance internet access in the area, providing a stable and efficient network solution tailored to the site’s conditions.
