This is what I believe we are doing: I. The trial HomeFusion service in Brice's name is cancelled within the 14-day evaluation period (done). 2. The commercial grade modem & antenna from Feeney Wireless should be ordered and installed. 3. The location where the antenna is attached to the building has been approved by JE. 4. This modem should be activated and added to the existing Verizon Wireless Business account for the Ranch. 5. The data plan shared for this business account should be monitored and increased as needed. 6. Once installed, the modem should be set to bridge mode, allowing the main basestation attached to it to manage the DHCP & NAT for the entire network. 7. No static IP should be ordered; we can add it later if we need it. 8. The microwave Tls should remain in place for the phone system and HVAC on a separate network. 9. The planned upgrade for the microwave connection should be suspended and cancelled once the VZW LIE connection is installed and vetted. I agree with Brice that the VZW business solution is better for us because: • The commercial grade antenna will almost certainly provide more stabile and reliable service. • Ties in with the existing account; no need to deal with VZW bureaucracy in setting up residential service. • The business account allows us to consume more than 30GB per month of data (the HomeFusion maximum). • We can monitor data usage for the range through the VZW account. We should not pay the ridiculous $500 static IP fee at this point; it makes more sense to keep the networks separated. We can add it later if we have a compelling reason to merge the interne & p
