<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce we have
installed a working link to East
Tiger Mountain @ 3000ft ASL
(47.488198°, -121.946706°).<br>
<br>
The uplink is coming from the
Tukwila datacenter and is just
using single-polarization hardware
right now because it was on hand.
We should upgrade this link
hardware to dual polarity, but I'd
like to wait until the Ubiquity
IsoBeam product hits the market
before we do that. The present
performance is acceptable at about
50Mbit average. So this link
upgrade is being skipped in the
phase 1 spend here.<br>
<br>
We have also recently replaced the
Westin router with a virtualized
router that offers far greater
performance, so I was able to
re-use the RB2011 hardware from
the Westin to run ETiger. This
spend doesn't need to happen at
this site. Yay re-use!<br>
<br>
I would like to try linking ETiger
with the Snohomish DEM ("Paine")
site. Since the viability of this
link is unknown, I think we should
do a test using hardware on-hand.
If the test shows the signals are
good, I'll roll the proper
hardware request into a phase 2
spend.<br>
<br>
We do need to get Sector 3
installed up there though. It
would be immediately useful, and
would replace our Mirrormont site,
which is only 1500ft ASL, and has
much slower connectivity. Here
are all the parts to make Sector 3
happen:<br>

I'm including 2 antenna mounts in
the mounting hardware category.
One for the sector, and one for
the test link to SnoDEM.<br>
<br>
We'll also need to find a special
short-depth server to use @
ETiger. I've been doing some
research on this but haven't found
anything appropriate yet. Let me
know if you have something or know
of something cheap that still
provides remote KVM with virtual
media support. All the racks @
ETiger are two-post with very
little depth available, so normal
servers won't work.<br>
<br>
Our present cash balance is about
$340. If you recall the last
spend request (for the 900MHz test
project), I was able to save some
money by borrowing the expensive
antenna hardware instead of buying
it. We only purchased the two
900MHz MikroTik modems, and we
also have two Ubiquiti 900MHz
modems on loan so we can do true
A/B testing. This testing will
likely use the Mirrormont site,
although SnoDEM would be
preferred.<br>
<br>
Board, please vote on this spend
request. Mailing list members,
feel free to comment before the
board votes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
