[Geomag-daily] Fwd: [EXTERNAL] [tblmnt] Table Mountain Network Requirements

[Brendan Geels]

I think any improvement to the line speeds up there will be welcome. And,
of course, we should place a strong emphasis on very high reliability.
Having access to a high speed connection up there could also allow us to
experiment with high sampling rate (100Hz+) setups in the future.
Do our connections at Table Mountain go through a NOAA firewall or do we
control all aspects of the connections?
