a faulty dish and another tower (SSID:kliq_kk_ap) on the same frequency, sounds like a recipe for disaster.i should have some extra cash soon, to help with the upgrade.

@Niemies has asked that I move the install to next Sunday.
On a good note, we installed the europa side yesterday. So almost there.
@angryplum would you be able to come assist next week?

Upgrade has been done, and link is running quite well.
Thanks to @angryplum and @Niemies for assisting.
Titan:
For those who haven’t worked on Titan, these signs are all around the top of the building. The whole top deck is FULL of cellular companies. Your brain does tend to feel a bit hot after a few hours.
Current capacity:
20Mhz 802.11ac. Europa side hasn’t been aligned so that should improve the capacity a bit more. Current throughput is low due to game time.
Random pics (I forgot to take one after we were done

Just a question? Was the titan4 sector move in a different direction by any chance… The CCQ value on my side and some others in Protea Heights seemed to have gone a bit south?
Some miss alignment or just too much interference on Titan with all the Cellphone/Wisp kit?
We are currently very limited with space on that tower, so we do have some unwanted noise from the other links. Good news is that we are replacing the mast with a longer one, so we should be able to space the kit a lot better.
An installation date hasn’t been set though, but I will update this thread when I have one.
