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.
