We used ERPS with great results. Sub millisecond caliber with no precepts packet loss even for voice. But, you can't see anything past the shut down ports. We used it with planet switches. We had to manually shut down ports to test the alternate paths which in most cases didn't happen often

Same deal as Paul. Our insurance covers climbing for ourselves but not for others. If we're working a job for someone else, we sub out the guys on the tower and it can get expensive. > On Jul 4, 2018, at 1:20 PM, can...@believewireless.net > wrote: > > Chuck, also look into your insurance

That is almost a perfect example of this job I need done. I don’t begrudge a couple of guys making $1K for a day of driving and a half day of working. Seems like decent money to me. Even at $75/hour, a 16 hour day comes in at $1200 per person. Not unreasonable. I can supply an employee or

Chuck, also look into your insurance costs. After being canceled two years in a row for doing tower and rooftop work, we found a company to cover us "affordably" but limits that we can't climb for others, limits the number of hours we can do tower work in-house, etc. If you plan on these guys

I realize that but it is not low for a run-of-the- mill telecom tech around here We start them at about $15 and after a few years they will top out around $25 if they are still doing install and repair work. I am trying to illustrate the job costing that I am applying to this particular job

I would have to agree, tower work would seem to be $75 hour work for people who are used to working up to 1K feet towers, at least! On 7/4/18 9:29 AM, Jaime Solorza wrote: 25 an hour is low for tower work Jaime Solorza On Wed, Jul 4, 2018, 10:13 AM mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> wrote:

I understand as an employer you have to look at cost vs benefitbut tower climbing is to me different from other Telecom work. I really don't climb much anymore and out of the flow as to what folks are charging now. Did a job in Midland with son realigning two 11GHz links on water
