Paris Rooftops : How (Not) To Install A 5G Antenna For An Internet Backup Line

About this episode

Installing a 5G antenna on a rooftop in downtown Paris sounds simple enough - until reality sets in.

In this episode, we walk thru the saga of a project that required not one, not two, but multiple site visits before the antenna finally worked as expected. Permits, building access, scheduling delays, unexpected power requirements - each visit brought a new twist, each delay a new story.

Was it bureaucracy? Weather? Or just the uniquely French way of doing things?

Join us on the rooftops of Paris for a tale of project planning, technical hurdles, and cultural aspects that turns a routine install into a mini-series of its own.
