PROJECT: Optus School of the
Air
East to West were commissioned to install satellite dishes across the
Kimberley at remote aboriginal communities and cattle stations. These
dishes were to replace the School of tha air radio network and provide
a means for students to connect to the school of the air via satellite
broadband.
Dishes were installed both on roofs and also mounted on specially made
heavy duty glavanised poles to withstand the harsh Kimberley environment.
The challenge with this project was to make sure that everything that
was required for the job had to be brought along. Some of these remote
communities were over 600kms from the nearest town which would mean a
long drive back if you forgot something. Like wise everything had to be
working properly before leaving as a call out would be costly. |
