- Network: 65.49.70.250/31

Future Plans
- Re-adjust antenna once Mount Allison dish is installed.
- Replace missing radio bolt.
Completed Work
March 2024 / 2
- Adjust dish positioning to improve SNR.
March 2024 / 1
- Replace Mimosa power solution with injector + power controller (ezOutlet5)
- The B11 radio required more power (just occasionally) than the router could provide, causing resets.
February 2024
- Adjusted and raised dish to try to get connection to Fire Station 8, but failed. Looks like the landfill is just too high now.
- Repointed dish at Mount Allison for alternate path.
- Observer 10GHz beacon at Mt Allison on radio's spectrum analyzer
January 2024 / 3
- Added 10 GHz Mimosa dish on roof, pointing at Fire Station 8
- Connection could not be made. The other end is not yet aligned. It's also possible the link is non-viable as the "tip" near the Bay may be too high now and obstructing.
January 2024 / 2
- Installed KVM
- Labelled newly installed cables
- Terminated and installed roof ethernet
- Cable has been pulled to the roof by HE.
January 2024 / 1
- Installed 1G and 10G optics for later use
December 2023 / 3
- Setup peering with ARIX on 1G optics
December 2023 / 2
- Installed new PDU
- Removed Media Converter
- Installed Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+IN Switch to support multiple incoming fibers
- Configured BGP
- Configured OSPF
- Configured Wireguard to Oxford as temporary link until dish installed
- Switched FCIX optics to 10G
- Installed HE fiber in 1G optics on switch
December 2023 / 1
- Installed Router
- Installed Proxmox Server
- Installed SFP Media Converter
- Attached HE fiber to Router
