Yeah I'm really targeting directly embedded applications that will want single pair ethernet. Robot tethers and things like that.
$200 a pair is definitely possible. $100 a pair is probably possible in a year or so, I just can't place orders for the chips in bulk because of the chip shortage so everything is inflated.

DSL isn't it. Not anywhere as easy to embed into products as 2 wire Ethernet, and you miss PoE option.

Not a hard problem to solve as both are twisted pair and POE injectors are a extremely cheap.

tbh I don't think I'm really ever going to compete with the mass volume stuff on DSL. I think this is more for applications where space is the key motivator, rather than cost.
In the US, you will be able to get these cheaper than the product on Botblox and with better performance (both products require a pair). "20/12Mbps over a long distance of 1.4km"
The author might be more competitive when he managers to go $100/pair (which he mentioned in another post he plans to by Apr 2023).
