TRAC Project Site Surveys

Originally uploaded by shainelee.

Today, my co-worker Shawn Kuykendall, and I spent the day visiting hospitals in the McAllen and Edinburg area. We are set to launch a project tomorrow for the Rio Grande Valley Trauma Regional Advisory Council (TRAC). As is prudent, we spent a day visiting the sites where we will be installing radio equipment to do site surveys. We looked at where we will mount antennas, make penetrations to run cables, and the communications closets where we will install the electronics. We made a day of it visiting 7 hospitals. It’s a good thing we did. Some of our assumptions were way off. They would not have stopped the project, but would have cost us time. We’ll make the necessary adjustments.
