I was called to install a temporary Point to Point Wireless link at a school to bypass a cut network connection during campus wide remodel.
This radio is peeking over the edge of a fasade. I'm standing on the roof as I take this picture.
I had to return to lower this antenna as low as possible. Kids were throwing basketballs at it!

I lost the bid on the original network cabling when the office was being built. But, I won the bid for the network expansion a couple of years later.
You can see the original cables to the right of my cable install. A proper installation simply costs a little more money to implement.

Winery in Lake County. Electricians installed CAT6 network. They stripped jacket to the back of electrical box like it is common to do with Romex. But the jacket needs to be within 1/2 inch of jack to meet performace specifications.
I did a marathon install over the weekend. Saturday was an all nighter… 24 Voice and Data.
I installed the rack, ladder, and cabling. IT installed the gear.
Moved this system from the clients old location. Panasonic 1232 with a TVS100 voice mail, and back up battery
Just a little work to clean up some cabling. Nothing special, but every little bit helps!

Here are a couple of EnGenius radios I use as a temporary bridge. Emergency outages and things like that. –Check out those custom mounts! Not pretty, but fully adjustable.
Yeah, I live in the sticks. This is a DeMarcation point on Orr Springs Rd. — Not sure why they were compelled to recess the NID’s into the tree…

Kinda reminds me of this:
30+ Cables. Combing them out before I punch them down.
