LCRA Update

New FCC documents detailing EDACS retirement and OpenSky migration.



Slow Growth Schedule

Deadline extension

Quote:

LCRA has since installed infrastructure at 61 sites and approximately half of the OpenSky channels have been activated since 2011. The other half are currently supporting a minimum capacity EDACS system that LCRA needs to continue operating until the user migration is complete. LCRA has reached substantial completion of the user migration, however unforeseen circumstances have kept a portion of its users on EDACS. LCRA has encountered RTU drivers that are incompatible with OpenSky data radios. As a result, this will require tower and unlicensed microwave additions before these remaining users can migrate from EDACs to OpenSky channels. LCRA will continue to activate OpenSky channels throughout 2015 as it de-commissions EDACS and adds channels to meet user loading requirements.

I monitor San Marcos EDACS, little talk on it but I get my fix where I can.
