Solano Wireless News Briefs

The switch appears to have failed. A tech is enroute to trouble-shoot. Current ETA is 4 pm.

No other towers or relays are affected.

We received word from Comcast that they will be performing maintenance on their Internet "pipeline" this Tuesday from noon to 2:00 pm, and that our circuit "may" be affected. Our Internet runs through their "pipeline" from Sacramento to Vacaville.

What that means is that there may be NO INTERNET during that maintenance window. Please make other arrangements (e.g. cellular hot spot) if Internet is required during the downtime.

ALL towers and relays may be affected.

Techs are on their way to Mt. Vaca and Berryessa Peak tower to realign the primary backhaul. The backhaul is the main Internet feed between Solano and Yolo Counties. The backhaul blew out of alignment at 1:00 am this morning. Yolo County customers are currently on the secondary (backup) backhaul which cannot pass as much traffic, so things will move a bit slower until the primary backhaul is realigned.

No other towers or relays are affected.

It appears that the winds have blown the Vaca North SE transmitter and the McQueen NE transmitter out of alignment. Attempts to move affected customers to other transmitters does not appear possible. Techs will investigate as soon as possible and safe to climb the towers early this week.

Looks like the winds have blown the primary and secondary backhauls out of alignment up at the tower. Both sites will be offline until Monday afternoon at the ealiest, if it is safe to climb the tower.
