Sunol Ridge Repeater Group (W6SRR)

Site is located off Palomares Road, Castro Valley at Sunol Peak (map)(photos) The Sunol ridge is geographically it located between Union City and Pleasanton. The ridge line separates the Fremont area of Alameda County from Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore on the east side of the ridge. Alameda County OES primary EOC is located in Dublin. (map)

The site has been of interest for hosting a microwave mesh hub, linking the eastern Alameda County into the SFWEM/BAM network with in inner bay.

Site Plan (Proposal / Planning STAGE)

Configuration

Sunol Ridge hosts an Edge Router X SFP and an EdgePower 24V 72W, an airFiber 5XHD, a hAP AC2 and various other AREDN nodes.

Power

Power is provided on site. A backup generator is also included. However, we include our own backup power using an EdgePower 24V 72W and two 24Ah LiFePO4 batteries. The batteries are mounted on a 2U shelf mounted towards the bottom of the equipment rack and provide ~1 day of backup power. The rack already contains other batteries for separate equipment so this is compromise between space, weight, and runtime.
