The project is fairly quiet at present but I can report that 220m of armoured mains cable and a weatherproof equipment enclosure were delivered today in preparation for the 'electrification' of the Goodlie Hill wireless node. Next week we expect to receive a quantity of fibre optic ducting to lay in the trench alongside the cable in readiness for when we are in a position to blow fibre to the node.
Unfortunately the weather is against us at present as regards digging the trench and laying the cable. In fact the wind and rain are so strong tonight that I'm wondering if we will have any casualties amongst our new NanoStation installations.
Also today Craig of NextGenUs took an old PC away with him to set it up as a Smoothwall router intended to reside in the Village Hall and be used to manage the network. It will have a global IP address and so should be accessible remotely from the comfort of one's own home. We've also identified an old laptop that will be set up as an Ubiquiti AirControl server for monitoring all the wireless devices in the network. This too is intended to reside in the Village Hall and have a global IP address for remote access.
