Old #RuralBroadband technology has to go. The terminal at the top of that mast was four metres higher a moment ago, before it was lowered. It wasn't working properly. 5 Mbps at most on a good day, and good days were rare. Putting the new GSM terminal on the mast gave poor results. Those people were cut off from the world, and they had serious sciencing to do.
The GSM terminal was set down for a moment on the side roof. The parameters were much better. A storm was coming and there was no time. It was just stuck to the roof with duct tape. We'll fix it properly in a couple of days, weather allowing. 40/4 Mbps right now. Those people's life and work changed dramatically. I'm starting to believe that radio technology is magic, not science.
The gods of electromagnetic radiation are fucking with our souls.
