Project Gants rearrangement

Good day wuggers

Would just like to alert everyone that some changes will be taking place over the next 1-2 weeks in the area regarding our site at Gants.

We are looking at taking down the equipment at the site and reallocating it to a new site we will be setting up. Our plan is to attempt to get this done the weekend of the 11th of June.

Reasons for these changes are as follows:

1.) Even though gaining access to the equipment is possible during the week, The EMO offices are not open on weekends when the majority of us are available to do maintenence and alterations on links.

2.) The high voltage electrical lines and other sources around the area cause link instability, which limits clients possibly connecting there, and blocks the usage of decent ptp links to other essential nodes in the area.

The changes we will be implementing should not degrade the quality of any links or client connections to Gants currently, but only allow for more possibilities to open up to us.

If anyone has any questions, or wishes for more info regarding anything mentioned in this thread, feel free to either comment here or mail our area admin Danie on nel.danie586@gmail.com.

Kind Regards
Michael (Hitla)

Really glad to see that the Helderberg/Strand area is still going strong!

Let me know if you guys need help after hours with configurations (OSPF etc…).

I take it ERAB will still be linking to the new site? I have a client that wants to connect to the ERAB sector.
