Reasonable use of phone and internet connections by the PIs usually is possible. SSSF arranges for portable toilets to be installed if other bathroom facilities are not available. Power is supplied by the main power drop back at the base. The distance between the array transformer and the base must be within 1000m. This limitation is due to the amount of power cable available.
Limiting factors are communication and power cables.
Under normal configurations, the maximum distance from the optical cable drop, located at the transformer, to the farthest ADAM is 500'. Since the footprint of each tower array is small, the terrain is not critical. Typically, a 2 ft. stake is driven into the ground for each anchor plus a 6 ft. It is convenient for setup and teardown to have vehicle access to each tower, in the form of 2-3 pickup truck loads. The truck can be backed along the same tracks to minimize crop damage.
