I think it may be time for some S4GRU Logo items for sale. Get our logo out there, and show everyone else your S4GRU Pride! Gifts for the kiddies. I'm thinking things like T-shirts, coffee mugs,baseball caps, swag like keychains or pens. What ever people may want.

 

First, I want to know if this is something of interest to you. Be honest. If you would never buy anything with the S4GRU logo, please say so. I won't allow people to pick on you for not being prideful enough in S4GRU. I need honest answers to gauge interest.

 

We would charge a noticeable mark up as a means to try to generate funds for the site. It would like be a way to donate money to S4GRU and get a gift in return.

 

Additionally, if any of you know of a good quality/decently priced firm to do small, on demands orders like this, then I would love to hear about it. Other than Vista Print, I don't know much. And I hear they are expensive. And this may be a project I'd be willing to delegate if someone wanted to take it on for S4GRU.

 

Sound off below, please! :popcorn:

Bumper Sticker

 

I could see that. Like, "Do not disturb, mapping in progress."

 

I bet AJ could come up with some funny and fitting bumper stickers.

It would give us the ability to say that we are "with S4GRU". I was in a rough neighborhood the othernight and some guy kept looking at me like wtf are you doing.

I would probably riff on the "Don't come a knocking..." meme.

 

We could do "Don't come a knocking, cellular mapping is rocking."

Yeah, I could definitely use an outfit like this...

Just replace "SWAT" with "S4GRU," and that might help keep the authorities off my back when I am out gathering network data.

I want an S4GRU badge that will get us access to any tower area and an RF analyzer to check on NV800/1900/2600 progress.

Here are a few more ideas for tag lines:

 

"My Ec/Io is better than your Ec/Io."

"I know what S4GRU did last summer."

"Hey, baby, want to see my custom PRL?"

Anyone ever try http://members2.cafepress.com/CnL/GetStarted? They doall sorts of things like this.

 

Any worry about that affecting the non profit educational satus of the site? I think you can upload the artwork and they can handle the sales and send you a bit for each if I remember right. Its been years since I looked at them.

No, it wouldn't effect us at all. We can sell something and have the money go to our bottom line without it being profit. It's just net gain to our fund. I can't imagine it raising much money at all. If we grossed $1000 after a year toward our fund, I'd be surprised. But if it's easy to manage because a 3rd party does all the work via a website, and there is appropriate interest, it seems like a good idea.

I got a promotional flash drive recently. It was pretty cool except the drive itself was cheap as [expletive omitted]. There are options out there for different and likely better drives.

I like the idea. I'd go for a shirt at least, and possibly some SWAG as well. At work, I get free SWAG from our suppliers (pens, note pads, etc.). For example, at the moment, I'm using a pen courtesy of Pillsbury, which is actually pretty good quality (only reason I'd use it). I would much rather look at the S4GRU logo than the Pillsbury Dough Boy! :lol:

    • T-Mobile Fires Back At AT&T After Their Statements On T-Priority
    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
