HFF by Phone 20240718 15 15 00 Pro

HFF for 13/09/2024. A mix of fences here, enclosing a mix of uses. See PiPs.

A rural telephone exchange hut with a leaning loo, a little South of Toowoomba. The original electro-mechanical exchange equipment will have been replaced by modern electronics connected to optical fibre rather than copper cable. The satellite earth station plant belongs to a partner business, Viasat. It communicates with a geostationary satellite over the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks Old Owl. For me these remind me of places I worked in the 70s and 80s when I was with PMG/Telecom. First as a trainee tech in testing cables and aerial lines back to larger exchanges and later leading teams installing radio links.
