A Week In The Life Of A Trainer

This month I made it up to Augusta, Maine. It’s the one state I hadn’t traveled to and it’s a bit of an ordeal to get to Augusta. I had to fly from Boston on this 7-passenger plane.

Once I got there, I met the team from Aroostook Technologies https://aroostooktechnologies.com . They operate a WISP that goes all the way to the Canadian border and they have a specific set of challenges. There are lot lot of small communities they are trying to support but they have to be careful not to cross the Canadian border with their Wi-Fi signals because it’s against Canadian regulations to be operating in their space.

We had fun looking at the outdoor equipment and how to best deploy it using the UISP design tool during the UBWA course. This course is still very popular as Ubiquiti continues to deliver good products at a very reasonable price especially compared to running fiber in a rural area.

I also had a great Full Stack and UWA class in Richmond Virginia. So three capitals in one trip… Augusta, Richmond, and Boston.
