Plans (proposed)
- Add HAP AC2
- Attach EdgePower for monitoring and to provide power to HAP
- Attach EdgeSwitch
- Provides extra port (e.g. for John Cornell)
- Replace San Bruno Mtn radio
- Replace current radio (only radio) with an LTU model to we have the future option to light up Building 4 with the same dish.
