Wireless Internet Service

Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)

TJ Lattimer and Aaron Clark from Nextlink Internet will present the basics of a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) and how it works. Their presentation will cover the technology, equipment, and frequencies used in fixed wireless internet and explain current government initiatives to bring high-speed internet to the “last mile” of rural America. TJ and Aaron will bring some of the equipment used in the industry for display. The presentation will be approximately 30 minutes, with time at the end for questions and a demonstration of a new coverage area deployment.

TJ and Aaron are excited to share knowledge of the WISP industry and look forward to meeting everyone involved with LARC. “Your organization is truly the ‘first responders,’ keeping every community informed and protected. We appreciate everything you do.”

PROGRAM: AM and FM Broadcast Transmitters

Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)

Presentation by Ed Holloway, KØRPT

We’ve all seen them – those tall red-and-white towers with lights that flash 30 times a minute. However, have you ever seen what’s at the bottom of those towers? Not many have.

The March club meeting will cover AM and FM broadcast transmitters, including coax, control, and several other things you might find interesting without getting too technical.

As a broadcast engineer, I look forward to sharing some cool pictures and stories about maintaining a few of these towers in the Lincoln area.
