The specifications for a replacement utility pole (there was one replaced in Artesia most recently that I know of).

Response:

· Treated wooden poles

· Pole height is 50’ above ground

· ANSI Class 5

· Glynco and Charleston – Meet all wind requirements for local county hurricane ordinances.

Are the Artesia and Charleston systems the same manufacturer with similar setups other than quantities of pole mounted hardware? My other question is for Artesia, is there just one base station and antenna or two (separate systems for main campus and range)?

Response:

Correct, all 3 sites are the same manufacturer Federal Signal – CommanderOne. All sites have the 1 computer and head-end equipment located in the Security Dispatch centers. Only difference in sites are the amount of pole equipment.

Artesia just has the 1 base station and antenna. The Range poles are capable of reaching the Main Campus base station for signals.
