Put the existing trailer(s) on a boat when needed. We know how to move equipment around in water. In fact, entire industries are built around it. ;-) On Aug 17, 2016, at 11:23 AM, Peter Beckman <beckman@angryox.com<mailto:beckman@angryox.com>> wrote: On Tue, 16 Aug 2016, Ben Bartsch via Outages wrote: As far as we know, it was a single flooded CO on Choctaw that is responsible. We have heard zero information from AT&T as to what the cause is or the ETR. They simply state 'we have technicians staged and are working on it'. They brought in cell towers on wheels into Baton Rouge but couldn't reach Livingston because the roads were flooded. The roads have been opened for about 16.5 hours now and service is still down. A little more transparency by AT&T would go a long way. It might make sense for AT&T to develop a mobile barge/boat-based cell tower, given all the flooding. If they can put a cell tower on wheels, they can put one on a boat, make it float, secure it with extendable legs. Or talk to Google about a temporary Project Loon hovering in the sky over the area. Or Softbank. http://gizmodo.com/5909392/japans-softbank-carrier-unveils-earthquake-proof-... http://www.marketplace.org/2012/06/08/tech/fcc-considering-plan-launch-float... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman@angryox.com http://www.angryox.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages --- Keith Stokes
