About Vail Mountain: LCWA’s Primary Radio Internet Distribution Point

If you want to learn more about how LCWA radio-based internet system works, read this interesting article about Vail Mountain, from which nearly all our internet radio signals first get distributed.

A Strategic Location

Vail Mountain is a 7550 foot hill in the Sangre de Cristo foot hills. Its peak is situated in an ideal way to provide a radio signal to most of the geographic areas LCWA currently serves.

The top portion of Vail mountain is owned by a family who is a member of LCWA, and they have generously allowed LCWA to place our primary distribution radios there as a gesture of support to our member-based, non-profit community.

By the way, this in how nearly all our access point radios are placed: at member’s locations who see hosting our main radios as a way to volunteer.

15 Internet Radios at Vail

We have 15 internet radios that circle the top of Vail Mountain, providing almost 360 degrees of coverage. Two-thirds of these radios do not deliver signals directly to members. Rather they deliver signals to other access point (AP) radios that then reach member homes.

Two Main Internet Feeds to Vail

Because this distribution point is so important, we actually have two primary internet trunk-line feeds into Vail. That’s key because if one goes down, we can rely on the other. These are high-capacity radio connections from our fiber trunk internet feed in Santa Fe.

By the way, it’s one of these main feeds that is being upgraded right now by staff and volunteers, and at great expense I might add. With this upgrade we should be able to handle many years’ worth of increasing LCWA internet demand.

One More Distribution Point: Don Jose

To be completely accurate, it is important to point out that there is really another primary distribution point in our system. It’s located on a high point in Cerrillos and it’s called Don Jose. This aggregation point takes a signal from Vail and, using 14 radios, distributes our signal to members and AP locations serving nearly all of Cerrillos, Madrid, and the NM 14 portion of Santa Fe south of downtown (e.g. San Marcos).

Maintaining all these key distribution radios is a primary role of our part time paid staff and key volunteers. It’s a challenging job and it’s what keeps your internet alive!
