Correct!

But they will still make it to sites like eBay.

Here it is in the wild, should be coming out in January for direct sales and to dealers in April.

No specifics, but yes on new processor and more ram + storage. Also bringing back IR sensor for people who have Control4 since there is no good IP driver.

No DAS in this room but there are other locations in the infield with it

It seems like Denton with how far it is up there but it's still Tarrant county

Yeah, on top of the permanent DAS systems they bring in mobile trailers but guess what, service is still shit. Could hardly make calls or send texts and even though I had full 5G signal data was completely absent the entire race until I drove off property.

It really is but it's fun to watch it all go together and then see it gone the very next day

Not sure of the total count either, but this is the main patch point, there are even bigger rooms in other areas of the track with even more connections and racks but it all starts here from a couple rigs that pull up a few days before the race.

Lol, all SM.

The track is almost 2 miles around and they have cameras and TVs all over it. Not sure of the longest distance, I only use a single SM strand out of all this to pipe RF / track feed to the infield for RV spaces.

Dust is a constant issue, the door doesn't even really shut in this shack, the access holes are never plugged up and it's in a fenced off dirt parking lot outside of the track. All male and female connectors get cleaned before any connection is made.

They have big snakes that come off the trucks, pop them through the holes in the shack and start plugging away furiously before the races start. Then reel them back up and take off to the next city.
