SupaNova : Planned

Broadcast coverage expansion and future back bone provisioning. Future link to Constantia Mountain & Hout Bay" na "Supanova has secured access on the block of flats where he lives for CTWUG to to place a highsite. This site is well placed for future expansion southwards and will act as a broadcast site as well. Current plans are to connect this site to Mercury and place two broadcast sectors. Future plans are to link this site to a new site at Constantia Mountain (and from there to Kommetjie and Hout Bay) and to link back to another wug site in the TFyre or Wetkit area, thus providing the SS with a circular route around the wug.

Mercury Upgrade : Planned

Due to increasing noise at Mercury we want to enhance the backbone to Moonfruit using a more powerful radio card and a Dish radio. The backbone grid to Moleman is also showing a lot of weather wear and as such we want to replace it with a new grid.
