T'is the Season
Bringing three new towers and 6 PtP links into the network this week. Monday we hung two new radios in Bristol QC. Tuesday (yesterday) replaced two backhauls at McNab. Up at 4 on Monday, spent 6 hours 100' off the ground. Up at 4 on Tuesday getting the gear configured before we started rigging.... Tuesday it was another 6 hours at 210'. Up at three this AM changing OSPF and bringing one of the new backhauls online (300 Mbps at 3 ms - sweet). Today have a miniX to trench 200 feet to a new tower in Horton. 2 guys on that and 2 rigging the tower. I'll only be 50' up this time... but it's going to rain so that'll be truly precious... Tomorrow (Thursday) building out at Marathon... another 8 or 10 hours 110' up. And Friday morning it'll be 3 AM again bringing Marathon and Horton into the OSPF area. At least the blackflies haven't shown up yet.

ReplyDeleteI'm an unhappy fixed wireless customer currently with another provider that would be interested in talking to you or someone at your company about coverage and options at my address.
