Hi So I’m sitting at dinner focusing on a cold beverage, with the local news running in the background. Blah blah blah … local EMS system down for two weeks…. surprise hardware failure takes out “paging system” … blah .. blah … blah … So finally they pop up with the “documentation” related to the failure. … ThunderBolt will fail … hmmm… I think I’ve heard about TBolt’s failing recently. Maybe the local county 911 should subscribe to TimeNuts !!! Next up is the comment that it took two weeks and $27,000 to fix. !!! If that all went to Trimble, I can see why they would prefer to let them fail vs issuing some sort of firmware update :) Back to my cold beverage …. Bob

Sweet. Yankee ingenuity at its best. $27K thats seriously nice. Almost enough to get me to code something. But then its 911 services maybe not.

I wonder if we're about to see another wave of surplus Thunderbolts ? On Fri, Aug 11, 2017 at 12:59 AM, paul swed <paulswedb@gmail.com> wrote: > Sweet.

Hi Since it *is* in a 911 context, whatever is done has a bit of liability associated with it. I also have zero information on how many devices were involved. It could easily have been 54 towers at $200 each for hardware and $300 each for overhead and labor. Bob > On Aug 10, 2017, at 7:59 PM, paul swed <paulswedb@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sweet.
