Hello, With Blyn's backbone dishes (NOT sectors yet) on the air, there's a mission to Triangle this weekend to install a dedicated dish that points at Blyn. This will provide a high speed link all the way from Triangle to the rest of the network via Blyn and SnoDEM. Given the new bandwidth capacity, running a PTZ there is finally viable. The tower owners have agreed to let us add a PTZ there to help with remote diagnostics and user LoS verification. The costs of this spend request are as follows: PTZ: $460 PSU: $50 TOTAL: $510 Shipping and taxes extra. My vote is YEA. I expect we'll be doing more of these upgrades to our sites, as man-power allows for installations. --Bart
