No u won't need any repeater for this much distance
Better get an outdoor cpe for tx/rx and use it....much better and less hassle...get a higher range one though for future purposes
How much does fiber cable costs and in what length do they come per coil?

If you can use your own equipment and connect to their wifi service, it may be cheaper ?
Consider equipment cost as one time investment.
As usual, benefit with using wifi is that it does not depend on anything else than your own infra, mostly no physical damage like some thing fell on a wire and cut the fiber which is expensive to repair, etc. which is a major caveat with fiber.

BSNL AIR FIBER should be way better as it costs you 7-8 thousands and has cheaper plans with higher speed
Thanks a lot for this. Need a dummy guide/intro and equipment needed. As for the LoS, imagine it's a hilly terrain.

Just look up point-to-point wifi connection guides for TP Link and similarly for ubiquiti. There are plenty on the interwebs .. i can defo help once you start to work out the details.
On your 2nd statement, that won't help. YOu will have to zero in on the desired sites and then place them on a google map overlay for LoS to see how viable it is.
If there is a high hill between point A and B blocking LoS, it wont be reliable. or may not even work at all
If A is at a point higher than B with no intervening hills, that would work fine.
Unlike an omnidirectional setup (like at home) which works fine with reflected waves, point-to-point relies on a clear line of sight between the 2 points .. Kind of analogous to whether a bullet fired from A at the right angle will reach point B.. or whether it will hit an intervening obstruction.
But you will have to check it properly before starting
Talked to the ISP again. They said the cable is a 2 core and will costs ₹7/meter.
As for the main connection there are some households which are interested so the ISP said we can get the 2 core cable together and then split it to the households. My concern here is will the speed be compromised?
AFAIK the ones near the highway are connected to the main box which has the big cable.
The one in village will be split from the small 2 core cable.

2 core fiber optic will be very thin same like used at end customers.......just check it once and if others are also interested then let everyone pool in and get the higher core one as it will be very fragile....as far as speed is concerned it won't be issue as fiber optic can support very high speeds and even after splitting after termination it won't be issue.....only problem would be the fragility of it as it could break easily.....will the isp provider be taking responsibility in case of any breakage or fiber cut?
Everyone here is using 2 core it seems. All the wires are the same. The repair will have to be borne by them.
Nice if they are going to borne the the repair work....get all interested parties in and get it started.....get all the details from isp regarding final charges of installation along with any other charges whatever there are and then share with others also or take 1 or 2 interested party with u and get on with it i wud say.
The 2 core cables are actually for end user and the cost sounds expensive to me. This is because these are usually not well protected and will be easily damaged.
Will speak to my contact and try to get details. Would appreciate if you can estimate length requirement.
Yes, but ISP factors in some the cost for replacement etc while for you everything will be chargeable.
Also, are any of the ISPs connected with Alliance? @SayantanGR could help with some contacts as well.
Also, @vishalrao has gotten his society wired for optical he could give some ideas.

+1 - Its is very unlikely that a 2 core cable will sustain for long on an outdoor long run. They are flimsy enough to get damaged even indoors if not routed or protected through a conduit
Lol that might explain why the ISP servicemen are always away for repair duty. But I honestly thought it would be fine.
About 900-1000m @vivek.krishnan
Also the main ISP is ShreeNE based in Guwahati.

I too have a similar situation. I have internet connection downhill in a building . Around 500 meters away At the top of the hill covered by dense trees i have another building which requires internet connectivity.Will a Tenda O1 Wireless 2.4GHz 8dBi Outdoor Point to Point CPE will be a solution or I have to go for 23 dbi ? Does it work if its not Line of Sight?Do I need 2 CPE - one for transmission and another for Receving? Please pardon me for posting it here rather than opening a new thread. Laying cable is not an option as tree branches fell all the time

Trees in the LoS will cause issues but it's nowhere as bad as a building etc blocking the LoS. Also 500 meters is a short enough distance. It is not ideal but will most likely work fine.
However its hard to say without actually seeing the site (or trying it out)
Given the less than ideal conditions though, 8dbi may fall short and at a minimum, try using tpl cpe510 (13dbi) or higher
I guess 2.4ghz will jave lot of interference and speed also will be low....get some good gear...search some more and better open a new thread

Does I have to
Use it as a pair or I can use 1transmit and on the receiving end a normal Wi-Fi access device??Any suggestions on cpe??

its a point to point connection - you will need a pair.
the bare minimum i would recommend is a tp link cpe510

Which one is better - considering the difference is only Rs 1300-

This slipped my mind, I will ask on Tuesday.
Would suggest to look at WISP operators in your area and get used equipment. They would also be able to help you with the setup, considering how green you are.

I setup a ptp link recently. I am using cpe710, link distance is 927 meters. Planning this with google maps is difficult so I prefer to use ispdesign.ui.com (better ui built for this purpose). In my setup, I get 650mbps throughput in either direction.
