Removal of wired networking from buildings

[mevans]

We have 3 buildings in our stake and the new upgrade has been completed in all of them. The contractors do a very nice job.

The techs came from a company in Utah. They told us they've been going all over California from the lower central valley to the Mexican border. I think someone drove a truck here that they drive from site to site. They work a 4-day week and fly home for the weekend. They're nice people. We managed to preserve a few wired ports, but that's no guarantee (we didn't get everything we would have liked). If you happen to have some boxes of CAT 6 available, they might be nice and pull some of it for you and terminate it at the patch panel and at the other end.

The approved system does have provision for a camera jack in the chapel. You potentially have some discretion about where that jack goes.
The approved system also runs lines to the audio rack and for door control (I didn't think Kindoo was network connected). Only one of our buildings has a new enough audio system that it's connected to the network, but they run the line to your audio rack so that it's there for whenever you get an audio system upgrade. At our stake center, video is in a different rack than audio, and they wouldn't run a line to the video rack.

They do eventually upload documentation and photos to CNM.

They later came back to one of our buildings and installed an additional AP in the overflow between the chapel and the cultural hall. It sounds like they're doing that on similar buildings. This particular non-stake center building model was built all over the place in the 1970s (slight floorplan variations and facade changes, but overall, the same thing). I've seen them in several states and even in Mexico. It's all brick, including the classrooms, so Wifi signals don't go far. But now we have good WiFi in the building.
