WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480 boy have I got a fun project for you guys today my parents new cabin is 00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:10.440 completely off grid which means that if they want anything resembling a modern 00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:15.360 standard of living they have got some problems to solve everything from power 00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:18.900 generation to clean drinking water to where to store sanitary waste is going 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.939 to okay well I guess they figured all that 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.439 out without me leaving just one thing for their firstborn son 00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:35.960 how to get an internet connection from all the way over there on the mainland 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.960 to this point right here 00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:48.000 thankfully we've got a backup plan and 00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:52.500 it's gonna be a doozy and it's brought to you by kiwico kiwico ships out crates 00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:57.660 that contain Hands-On projects for kids to help develop their creative confidence and problem-solving skills 00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:00.860 learn more at the end of this video or at the link down below 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.370 thank you 00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:19.320 step one of our little project today then is to take our two Crews one that's 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.939 going to be stationed at Lions Bay Marina back there and the other one that 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:27.240 gets to ride across the water in my parents boat with all the equipment that 00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:32.700 we're gonna need one of our most important pieces of equipment of course 00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:35.820 is our air fiber 60lr dish radio system 00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:38.520 Congo unit from ubiquity this is what 00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:43.920 we're going to use to get a 60 gigahertz beam up to one gigabit per second 00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:46.619 straight across the water in theory 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:52.579 we're going to have similar latency and bandwidth to if we just ran like a 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:57.360 straight up Cat5e network cable except that we're 00:01:55.500 --> 00:02:00.360 going to be going like what is it about five clicks 00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:02.899 something like that about five kilometers 00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:16.319 and now that we're on site our next challenge is to figure out exactly where 00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:20.940 we're going to get a clear line back to the marina so Jake and I are trying to 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.819 sort this out so unfortunately due to us being a little time constrained we had 00:02:22.739 --> 00:02:28.080 to go grab some stuff from the hardware store and come back and by the time we 00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:31.680 got here Linus had already shipped off on the boat to the other side now what 00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:35.940 that means is he wasn't able to stand here and tell me where roughly it is so 00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:39.300 I'm trying to spot him he's on that side like jumping doing jumping jacks waving 00:02:38.220 --> 00:02:45.120 his hands and we're trying to see him through the binoculars but they're not exactly 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:49.140 um the zoom I would want for the six-ish kilometers it takes to get over there so 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:52.739 this is going to be a little tricky but we're going to try to at least get a 00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:57.840 rough spot of where he is and then we can move over to try to get the dish on 00:02:54.060 --> 00:03:00.060 the wall and then tilt it from there 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:07.080 good luck to us it's so difficult to make it out like my 00:03:04.739 --> 00:03:12.239 I can't hold the binoculars steady enough to see an object 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:19.019 like he's a he's a pretty small human so 00:03:16.739 --> 00:03:23.599 that boat going across right now oh I think I sent you a pen 00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:23.599 do you see the boat 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.340 there is no boat anywhere near me 00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:33.540 is there like some crisscross Lumber like set up as a support or construction 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.519 or something yes that's the one crisscross Lumber how can you not see me 00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:43.799 there's nowhere there is there is there is I think I see you then 00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:48.540 well do you see a person jumping around or not hi 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:53.700 can you see this are you fingering me all right I think 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:59.060 we have contact I definitely can't see it but I just assumed all right I'm 00:03:56.099 --> 00:03:59.060 heading back up to the house 00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:06.959 as you can see the inside is still a construction zone which doesn't prevent 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.939 my parents from putting up some pictures on the wall you know you got to make it homey anyway none of that's our problem 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:17.579 because we're going to be out here on the top deck this is perfect I couldn't 00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:22.260 tell from down there but we have a perfect straight shot to the marina I 00:04:19.979 --> 00:04:25.979 can see it clear as day this is going to be awesome 00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:31.020 see that blue uh kind of like uh shipping container looking thing 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:35.520 bright blue it's just to the left of that 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.960 it's gonna be easy as pie I think we are on what is the sketchiest scissor lift 00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:45.479 I've ever seen like look at this it's bent to crap it shakes it it's got a 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:50.820 little wiggle Brandon really likes it and uh we only have to go that high 00:04:48.419 --> 00:04:54.419 like another one of me so I it's not gonna be that bad but it's pretty 00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:57.620 sketchy I guess it's better than a ladder though you ready 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:09.500 oh oh it's not that bad stop testing 00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:18.479 Jake I'm not I have to go over here to do this I'm just all right uh I'm gonna 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.080 grab them out let's just try to walk in the middle I guess 00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:26.759 you're not moving I gotta okay time to 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:30.720 sit my butt on this nice blue chair and do a haul video ladies and gentlemen 00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:36.780 we've got some Ethernet cable we've got a jackery just to power things while 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.180 we're testing we've got a cordless drill 00:05:36.780 --> 00:05:44.280 we've got an edge switch 10xp this is a 10 Port power over Ethernet switch so we 00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:48.000 plug our included power adapter into the back here and then it's going to provide 00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:52.560 Power to our connected devices over these RJ45 ports now these guys over 00:05:50.580 --> 00:05:55.500 here these are SFP they are not going to be able to do power over Ethernet but if 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.880 for whatever reason we had other SFP gear we could connect it using that 00:05:57.300 --> 00:06:05.639 we've also got this cute little guy this is the UAP Flex HD this is a lovely 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:10.080 little wireless access point it's PoE powered it's outdoor rated so that means 00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:14.580 that probably what we're going to end up doing is taking this puppy putting it 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:18.060 right next to the switch and I'm willing to bet with how open it is here and how 00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:22.139 little interference there is I'm going to get an internet connection on this 00:06:19.380 --> 00:06:26.880 from basically the entire property here it comes with a PoE injector if you 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:32.639 don't have a PoE switch but we do so we don't need that also I'll need a laptop 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:39.840 to connect up my gear over here and of course ah yes the big guy the air fiber 00:06:37.080 --> 00:06:42.500 60lr all right 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.639 um come on 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:53.039 dolls just my watching 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:56.520 so we've got our dish here we've got the 00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:58.819 ah yes the uh 00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:03.720 personal massager shower head uh this is the radio 00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:09.660 component of it so this puppy just is gonna go in a little something like that 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:11.520 ah there you go oh yeah we don't even 00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:17.160 need the manual he needs the manual boys another PoE injector we won't need that 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.419 because we do have a PoE switch this 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.360 um okay we'll type your manual okay this 00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:28.500 clip's on here this pops open here so we can get at the RJ45 Jack there that's 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:32.759 where our power over Ethernet and of course our data are going to come in it 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:36.180 runs down this ARM comes out this uh 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.460 weather resistant thing of uber here 00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:43.440 and then all that's left is the pole mount that's included in the 00:07:41.099 --> 00:07:46.340 box and this 00:07:46.380 --> 00:07:52.199 anyway so let's talk about mounting a little bit usually a dish like this 00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:57.780 would end up on the roof of a building probably like a skyscraper or on a tower 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.240 of some sort with a pole but in our case we're trying to mount it to the side of 00:07:58.919 --> 00:08:04.500 a building so we looked at a few different options and it seemed like a 00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:09.180 satellite dish Mount was the best course of action and surprisingly it's kind of 00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:12.539 difficult to get these things in really urban areas because they don't really 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.960 use satellites a lot anymore but I did find a guy that actually does satellite 00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:20.580 tear downs and he had a bunch of extra ones sitting in a storage locker so bada 00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:24.599 bing there we go now we are drilling into concrete which makes this a little 00:08:22.379 --> 00:08:28.020 more difficult but it should be okay we got our hammer drill we got some tapcon 00:08:26.699 --> 00:08:32.399 screws which are made for concrete everything should be okay I just sort of 00:08:29.940 --> 00:08:37.140 have to plan it out and Mark it and hope that that works 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.839 anything like there it's good the only thing is once I put it on the 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:46.020 wall it's going to be very difficult for me to adjust I can't look through the 00:08:43.979 --> 00:08:50.839 viewfinder if you know what I mean lioness is like on a deck on that side 00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:56.519 so he can look through a viewfinder oh you're right Andy this is the 00:08:54.540 --> 00:09:00.060 viewfinder you are 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.360 ah I guess we don't really have much choice so 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:06.660 the hole on the mount is actually a little bit bigger than the hole that we 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:13.500 need so I got a little bit of flexibility just me or is that like spinning whoa wow it literally 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:17.880 completely stripped it we are following the instructions yeah maybe it's just 00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:20.760 really strong wall or something I also got some different ones that are a 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:26.640 little smaller I did bring another solution 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:29.240 some like plugs having the time of my 00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:29.240 life right now 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:36.779 okay wow I am so glad that we were able 00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:39.660 to get it in there I was starting to get a little worried there now let's talk 00:09:38.339 --> 00:09:43.440 some speeds and feeds for this bad boy this right here regular old gigabit 00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:49.140 Network Port but what's special about it is that it uses 60 gigahertz wireless in 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:54.300 order to fully saturate this thing so that is two gigabit total one gigabit 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:56.519 send one gigabit receive if ubiquity's 00:09:54.300 --> 00:10:00.480 specs are to be believed as for how they get around the range limitations of 60 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:04.740 gigahertz if you guys remember 60 gigahertz can be blocked by a piece of 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:09.060 paper if you happen to have you know y gig in your house so how are we gonna 00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:12.660 how's it going to go five kilometers across the water well that's because a 00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:17.940 there's no piece of paper in between that's very important and B because 00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:21.420 these antennas are sending just a narrow beam of data across the water instead of 00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:25.980 just trying to send it in all directions they're much more focused and they can 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:29.279 do up to apparently 12 kilometers on this particular model we're going to 00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:32.220 leave that over there for now and I want to talk about the mount a 00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:37.080 little bit so this is a pretty cool piece of Kit they include with this with 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:41.880 this dish it actually has a bunch of very accurate adjustments you can do 00:10:40.380 --> 00:10:45.720 by the degree and then once you figure it out you've 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:51.240 done your alignment until you've gotten it where you want it to be you can actually just lock them on on both axes 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:56.339 which is really cool now what we're probably going to have to 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:58.740 do is clamp this on get it where we 00:10:56.339 --> 00:11:02.700 think roughly it should be and it might be a good hour of tilting and screwing 00:11:01.380 --> 00:11:06.600 around with it until we get it where we want it to be got the screwdriver 00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:10.079 ottststore.com just kidding we don't have those yet but the dad hats are 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.579 coming soon these are sick they're awesome I've got 00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:19.440 two different screw sizes Andy I've got the good enough to hold it up size and 00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:23.000 I've got the just in case someone has a couple wobbly pops and decides to try to 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:27.600 hang off of it you want the big boy all right you got 00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:30.180 it all right I think we're good now is everyone happy I can go ahead and lean 00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:34.440 off the porch all right someone gonna pull me back in 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:37.339 I guess I can use the rope all right what are we secured to 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:44.880 okay I think this is a ubiquity approved 00:11:42.380 --> 00:11:47.300 installation method what do you think Brandon 00:11:47.579 --> 00:11:55.440 there is a viewfinder that this thing comes with Linus probably showed you it 00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:59.519 this little guy and you actually clip it into the back of the dish but I don't 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.920 really have a way to look through it you know actually maybe if I put it on this 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:06.260 side I think it can mount in a couple oh my 00:12:04.019 --> 00:12:06.260 God 00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:14.040 the viewfinder they include with this kit is really nice because it forces 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:18.660 your perspective to be in line with the dish and where it's pointed I thought I 00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:24.060 was decently lined up right but if I look through the viewfinder 00:12:20.339 --> 00:12:26.760 I am pointed right at the ocean so I'm 00:12:24.060 --> 00:12:30.300 gonna adjust this up a little bit and then now 00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:34.500 I am pointed at the sky which I also don't want 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:39.060 I got my harness so I'm not too worried about falling to my death at this point 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:44.519 uh let's go ahead and loosen this a little bit there we go now we're a 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:47.339 little off we're probably about I'd say 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:52.620 five degrees low wow actually I don't know actually I 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.880 might have freaking nailed it all right I'm Gonna Leave it right there and uh 00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:00.899 we'll have to wait until Linus is ready to go now obviously the plan would be to 00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:05.220 power this using something other than a portable battery bank so they're gonna 00:13:02.459 --> 00:13:08.760 have a combination of solar wind and then there's actually a little creek 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:13.560 that runs through the property that gets water about eight months out of the year 00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:19.880 so that's the plan for the future but for today we're just testing it so I'm 00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:22.320 just going to plug us into this 00:13:19.880 --> 00:13:26.220 as with most of Ubiquiti's other stuff this is PoE powered usually a PoE 00:13:24.959 --> 00:13:31.079 injector like this would be mounted inside or you'd have a PoE powered 00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:35.579 switch but for now we're just going to have this up on the scissor lift with us 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:37.079 and I put a really long cable so maybe 00:13:35.579 --> 00:13:41.220 once it's lined up we can go down to the ground but I that's probably going to be 00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:45.360 a while unfortunately we weren't able to get an ISP to run internet here yet they 00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:52.260 said it's going to be a couple week lead time so instead we brought our little LTE Puck which is kind of funny because 00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:55.860 you would usually just take the LTE Puck to the other side and have that as your 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:58.740 internet but no we want to test this link so this is going to act as our 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:02.639 router and provide us some internet access so we can actually try this out 00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:07.639 pretty easy bam we're plugged in that's all I got to 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:07.639 do it's working 00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:18.899 you plugged it in I guess we just lined it up it says our our link is about 77 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.800 optimal but it says our capacity is two gigabit right now 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:32.459 and then I was kind of setting it up for that moment in the video where Linus 00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:36.899 kept proven to be wrong but I mean it was what I take it was pretty cake it 00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:43.139 says our capacity is two gigabit I guess what's 78 link that's enough that is 00:14:40.380 --> 00:14:48.180 freaking crazy okay I think I'm just straight up connected to you now I 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.040 grabbed the driver and boom I like let 00:14:48.180 --> 00:14:55.380 me just see here it is we're logged into the Gambia house dashboard we can see 00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:57.000 our airfiber 60 lrb and a so one of 00:14:55.380 --> 00:15:01.220 them's at Lion's Bay Marina one of them's at the Gambier house they've both 00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:06.480 got their IP addresses their uptime fantastic I am in the dashboard on my 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:12.899 computer and I am connected to the dish on my phone everything is Bueno sweet 00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:17.040 did you touch the dish at all sure didn't you know what I wonder if 00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:22.760 it's just people moving around all right we gotta wrap this up pretty quick here 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.760 how do we do the uh fine tuning thing 00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:29.220 it's amazing how much a little bit of Wibble wobbling affects things 00:15:27.660 --> 00:15:32.160 immediately when you were like I'm tightening it down I saw it jump all 00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:36.660 over the place honestly I think we we nailed it right 00:15:34.680 --> 00:15:39.839 out of the gate I got a little more horizontal adjustment to do so give me 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:44.220 give me a minute I guess at this distance like you got to be adjusting it 00:15:42.060 --> 00:15:48.420 like fractions of a degree it's crazy how much of a difference like a quarter 00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:51.240 turn of this knob makes in terms of where it's actually pointed if you look 00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:56.880 through the viewfinder it's very responsive though like you can see within about a second or two if what 00:15:55.079 --> 00:16:02.880 you're doing is working oh and it's gone 00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:05.360 what'd you do move in front of the antenna 00:16:06.839 --> 00:16:12.920 this is it big test time all right I'm starting 00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:16.820 pay is one millisecond 00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:26.100 nice oh look at this look at this 800 923 megabit per second download 903 00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:31.800 upload it fluctuates a bit but that's pretty 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:39.420 impressively stable but flush it that's freaking Rock Solid 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:41.820 oh that's freaking awesome I'm stoked 00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:45.360 I'm stoked this is great so all they got to do is a little bit of cable 00:16:42.839 --> 00:16:48.899 management get that cable run into the house and that's something they can 00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:51.920 handle on their side and then we're we're ready to rock 00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:59.880 theoretically we can get higher speeds 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:03.540 oh wow without the Ethernet port as a bottleneck like this thing is actually 00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:08.819 capable of greater than the network port on the freaking thing 00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:12.679 so we're going across the water and 00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:12.679 we're literally bottlenecked by The Wire 00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:17.959 you know what else there's a metaphor for 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:27.780 you know it baby big thanks to kiwico for sponsoring this 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:31.740 video
