What is a SiteBoss and How Does it Work?
Introduction Several years ago, I was involved in the start-up of a fixed-wireless Internet service provider company. During the initial years of the start-up, the biggest capital expenditures (CAPEX)s were the infrastructure components (e.g., towers, networking gear, radios, antennas, leases, construction costs, etc.). However, after a few years of expanding the network’s footprint, the CAPEX […]
Preparing a Telecom Network for Weather-Related Disasters
Over the past few years, there has been an increase in weather-related disasters that affected grid power and telecom networks. A network’s grid resilience is significantly important as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of severe weather (i.e., thunderstorms, hurricanes, wildfires, blizzards). (Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)) In this post, we’ll cover […]
