Completed Work
January 2024
- Installed ethernet cable between Fish Ranch / AREDN network and East Bay Public Safety Microwave Network / AREDN network. The two networks were physically near each other at Fish Ranch, so all it took to connect them was running a cable.
June 2023
- Replaced 5XHD radio with an Rocket-LTU model to support connections to both San Bruno Mtn Building 7 and Building 4.
- Added EdgeRouterX
