Back when I worked Campus IT in college, I used to set the SSIDs on the on campus to off campus point to point wifi links i installed to "LongLines_ x" in honor of the old school AT&T Long Lines microwave relay towers that look loving cool/imposing and carried 50mbit worth of simultaneous voice, telex data, network TV backhauls, and military comms from the late 40s to the early 1990s. http://www.drgibson.com/towers/ http://www.long-lines.net/ MullardEL34 fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Jun 13, 2018 |

I had no idea that some of the Long Lines relay network was still intact and functional. Most of the Long Lines towers here in NE Ohio that have been abandoned for years have very recently gained a second life as 4GLTE towers and relays for hospital and other commercial microwave networks. I went to Hiram College and have been watching the Shalersville Long Lines tower for years. It sat abandoned for years in the middle of a dairy farm and then 2016 came around, new antennas went up and the windows lit up and staid lit. along with new aircraft warning lights. My 4G signal instantly got better between Mantua and Ravenna. Somewhat off topic but we really need a new YOSPOS radio thread. MullardEL34 fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Jun 15, 2018 |
