Equipment?

I just want to know what Concast is doing installing gear on a water tower. Last I checked they were not in the wireless business so I don't see why he was up there to begin with.

Cable companies have a lot of wireless equipment, such as local microwave links. They're being replaced by fiber but there are some still out there.

You'd be surprised the amount of microwave video backhaul is done by the cable cos. It's how they get a station from 120 miles onto their networks in many cases.

Go to »theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/ and click on "Off Air reception." You'll see a lot of the big antenna arrays they used to pick up distant stations.

There's an array made up of multiple towers used as passive elements for VHF. The scale of that thing is absolutely freaking amazing.

Here it is: »theoldcatvequipmentmuseum.org/12···dex.html

They can extend the cable plant wirelessly. We had a wireless cable plant extension in Downtown Greensboro installed in our building since Time Warner hasn't laid cable under the historical parts of town.

Where the hell do they get almost 1 ghz of spectrum from to do that?

They definitely have wireless gear that they could put up there, cablecos use wireless devices to provide internet to places they cant get cable.
