Border Patrol
1997-2005
From 1998 to 2004, Yankee participated in the development and installation of multiple microwave networks on the U.S. continental borders.  In all of the listed projects, Yankee used their expertise with microwave communications to install and configure all elements of the radio systems.  It is estimated that during this period, Yankee was responsible for installing and activating over 500 wireless links utilizing licensed government frequency bands.     

Brownsville , TX  
Yankee was subcontracted as the Project Manager (PM) for this installation.  (16) 80’ monopoles were installed along 35 miles of the U.S. continental border.  A 180’ self standing tower was erected with a shelter.  19 dishes were installed at this location and aligned to 19 remote sites.  An additional OC-3 link was installed and configured for communications and video relay.  A 60’ stub tower was erected at the U.S. Border Patrol Station for the opposing end of the OC-3 link. An 8 station console was built and installed. 

Buffalo , NY    
Yankee was subcontracted as the PM for this installation.  A rooftop installation, two towers, and two monopoles and a shelter were installed along with a control room.  Equipment was installed for five microwave links.

Calexico , CA   
Yankee was subcontracted as the co-PM on this project.  15 retractable monopoles were installed as was a 200’ self-standing tower and shelter.  There were 15 microwave links that were installed and calibrated.  An OC-3 link was installed for interconnection to the El Centro Sector.  A 4 station console was built and installed.


Deming , NM  
Yankee was subcontracted as the co-PM for this project.  6 monopoles were installed for border surveillance applications and two towers were erected.  6 links were installed to one of the towers and then a separate MCL relay link was installed to the Border Patrol Station.  A console was built and installed.

Douglas , AZ  
This project underwent multiple phases.  The final layout consists of three towers and 11 remote sites.  An MCL link connects a relay tower to the new station.  Yankee designed and built multiple Alternative Power Generation devices (APG5500) that were used to provide power to sites where grid power was not available.

Eagle Pass , TX  
This project was done in multiple stages from 1999 to 2003.  For the initial stages, Yankee was the PM.  In all, 3 towers and 13 monopoles/sites were installed.  All of the sites linked to one of two relay towers. From these relay sites, OC-3 links were installed to a third tower at the Border Patrol Station.  A large 5 station console was installed.

El Centro , CA  
Yankee was the main installer as a subcontractor under the prime contractor.  Three towers were installed and three already present towers were utilized.  20 80’ monopoles were installed at remote sites along the border.  In all, 23 microwave links were installed, 2 of which were OC-3.  At the present time, the videos and telemetry are configured to be routed to the Calexico Station until a new El Centro station is completed.

Harlingen , TX   
Yankee was subcontracted as the PM for this project.  8 monopoles were installed along with two water tank sites.  Antennas were installed on a very large 350’ self standing tower.  Microwave links were installed from the sites to the tower.  A fiber interlink was installed to transmit video and telemetry data to the Border Patrol Station.  A 4 station console was installed.

Laredo , TX  
This was a project that was carried through multiple stages from 1999 to 2004.  Yankee was the prime installer under a subcontract for all components on this system.  The project consisted of 3 installed towers (with a fourth in progress) and 27 remote sites that consisted of monopoles, rooftop mounts, and other structures.  Two of the towers were utilized as relays with MPEG-2 codec technology and OC-3 radios.  

Naco , AZ
Yankee was the co-PM on this project.  7 monopoles with dual camera pedestals were installed at remote sites.  7 microwave links were installed.  Antennas and waveguide were installed on an already present tower.  A console was installed for monitoring. They had some sites that did not have access to grid power.  Yankee designed and built multiple APG5500 remote power units.  

Swanton , VT  
Yankee was the PM under a subcontract for this installation.  The program consisted of 2 towers and other structures were already in place for this project.  There were 4 new sites added to present tower structures and two of the previous sites were retrofitted with new radios, antennas, and camera equipment.

Ysleta , TX
Yankee was a co-PM on this project.  8 monopoles were installed. This system required 8 microwave links to be installed and aligned.  A multi-bay console was also installed.

Yuma , AZ         
Yankee was the co-PM on this project.  The project consisted of 18 remote monopoles and utilized 2 existing towers.  A third tower was coordinated by another company.  The 18 sites linked to the Station through 2 MCL relay links.  YMI installed and aligned 22 antennas.  A control room was also assembled and installed. These sites were in the desert and comical rods were needed to adequately ground the sites.
