Which Saturday do you need the help @ East Tiger? Either Saturday
is presently open for me, but I need to know ASAP.<br>

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>
