Lagoon Valley Tower

Posted by Administrator on

The Lagoon Valley Tower (Vacaville) is a 60-ft tall tower (1,029 ft above sea level) located on top of Lagoon Valley (between the lagoon and the Correctional Facility). This site is our main site and sees almost all other towers/relays, and all Internet traffic flows through here. For that reason, we call this site "Sauron."

This site has 17 Internet transmitters (called access points) and redundant Internet links to Comcast Business Services and Cogent Communications. Each transmitter connects up to 30 customers and transmits a directional signal (45, 60 or 90 degrees) up to 20 miles

The site has a 36-hour battery backup system that starts automatically in the event of a PG&E power outage. If necessary, there is also an onsite generator that can be started remotely.
