Can you possibly live without Facebook to share those special moments with family that couldn\u2019t be there when your kids open that gift?

It is part of the job description when you do any public safety or carrier work. It\u2019s business as usual. Upgrades, repairs, emergencies, and anything else that may have needed to be done. I have also got called out for useless things that someone thought was important, although we know it wasn\u2019t, you know what I mean. Stupid stuff that could have waited. It\u2019s all part of the job, which is really a lifestyle when you think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Memories!

It was a quick fix that only took 6 hours or so, but it was back on the air when I was finished.<\/p>\n<p>I once left a Thanksgiving because a modem was locked up. I drove 60 miles to reboot a modem so people could connect. All this at midnight so it would work the first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>I once had to repair a terrestrial link that died the day my oldest son was born. It failed because someone in the office changed something they shouldn\u2019t have, and it crashed. Things happen, people do stupid things, and this is what happens. I don\u2019t judge because I do stupid things. Sometimes the timing could be better, that\u2019s all. Because the company didn\u2019t want to pay for a contractor to come, they called me. <a href=\"https:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2017\/11\/22\/smart-city-use-cases-report\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27175 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Smart-City-Use-Case-Cover-Final.jpg?resize=254%2C330&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Smart-City-Use-Case-Cover-Final.jpg?resize=231%2C300&amp;ssl=1 231w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Smart-City-Use-Case-Cover-Final.jpg?resize=768%2C998&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Smart-City-Use-Case-Cover-Final.jpg?resize=788%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 788w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Smart-City-Use-Case-Cover-Final.jpg?w=923&amp;ssl=1 923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/a>They didn\u2019t seem to know I was up all night in the hospital watching my oldest son come into this world. My son is doing great by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Enough about me, let\u2019s hear a great story about a big venue! The Las Vegas Convention Center is impressive, full of Wi-Fi and carriers. Cox manages most of the wireless there and they do a great job. The team there has done an outstanding job building up the Wi-Fi and managing the wireless carriers throughout the center. I am impressed with all that they have done.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Cox team has a tough job. They look at holidays, even Christmas, as a prime time to upgrade their system. I was out at IWCE a few years back and I got to talk to the team that manages the wireless systems. They were a great bunch of guys. There is one <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2015\/11\/12\/wireless-deployment-handbook-for-lte-small-cells-and-das\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23035 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Cover-V7-LTE.jpg?resize=245%2C327&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Get the Wireless Deployment Handbook today!\" width=\"245\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a><\/strong>guy managing almost all the wireless. His main responsibility was the Wi-Fi, but he also would oversee the DAS and carrier work inside the convention center.<\/p>\n<p>You see, for the convention center to deal with all the carriers and the Wi-Fi vendors is a headache for them. After all, their business is booking the convention center and maintaining it. Wireless is one part of it. So, they have a team to manage the wireless. Under the wireless umbrella is Wi-Fi and Cellular. The cellular, in this case, is all the carriers who have coverage in the building. It really is impressive the way they have the systems installed to cover the entire venue.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more than Wi-Fi, it is also the tracking of users, the counting of people in the venue and walking by. The managing of all the heavy data usage. The Cox team does an amazing job managing everything, physical and data. It\u2019s no easy task.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that they get a day off, guess again, they usually work holidays to make sure that the upgrades and changes are made. No <a href=\"http:\/\/wadesarver.com\/scope-work-training\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wadesarver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/SOW-Training-Cover-624x351.jpg?resize=267%2C149\" alt=\"SOW Training Cover\" width=\"267\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a>one said wireless gets a day off. Holidays are when the teams do upgrades, additions, and changes. That is how these venues continue to grow and improve.<\/p>\n<p>He told me the story of how he had to work Christmas, like most holidays, because the convention center is empty, and they can make changes without hurting service or interrupting people on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>This shows you that they really care about the uptime and quality of the service not to mention the interruption of anything going on. They know that they have a window to work when no one can be interrupted. They do this when they can, which is generally a holiday when everyone else is off and enjoying their family time.<\/p>\n<p>In tech and wireless, believe it or not, the customer really does come first. User experience matters.<\/p>\n<p>These guys work hard when you relax just so you have a great user experience when you\u2019re at the convention center for anything.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just him, the installers, engineers, commissioning teams,<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2017\/08\/11\/the-smart-city-tech-planning-handbook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44141 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wade4wireless.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/08\/smart-city-cover-promo.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=304%2C171\" alt=\"\" width=\"304\" height=\"171\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>everyone, all there so that the system gets installed properly. They look at holidays as the day to get things done without customer complaining or getting in the way.<\/p>\n<p>So, when using your smartphone or getting on Facebook, think how many people are working to make sure you can post on Facebook or share this blog and listen to my podcast. Technology has come a long way, but it still takes people to install and commission. Plug and Play is close, but for the large deployments, it\u2019s not quite there. Even so, you still need to install the gear, even small cells, they don\u2019t show up by themselves and the drones can\u2019t do it. It\u2019s not an app, but physical hardware that will be attached to a physical structure.<\/p>\n<p>I have to tell you, I don\u2019t miss being called out or working for someone else on holidays. I get to work on my writing or things like that and spend time with family. I missed so much when my kids were young. That\u2019s right, while the work was rewarding, it does bring regrets. Unfortunately, we don\u2019t realize that until you hit my age. When you think these people work hard, they do, they also give up a lot, miss a lot, sacrifice a lot. That\u2019s why I write, so I have more choices in how I spend my time. It took me over 50 years to figure that out.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all the installers, engineers, IT technicians, wireless workers and construction workers that gave up their holidays to make sure we have a better system. Thank you for making it so reliable, and trying not to inconvenience the people who can\u2019t live without Facebook or LinkedIn. I was one of you and now I enjoy all that work that you still do today. I hope you get paid well because you deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>Godspeed!<\/p>\n<p>Happy holidays! Merry Christmas!
