Hey everyone, so I thought I’d get in the habit of posting a bit more to keep everyone in the know. As the south network experienced over the past week we’ve been having some slow downs and no connectivity issues which where due to some updated routing tables. It’s for the most part complete. However, still some work to do. So, here are the known issues, and things I’m going to work on updating this coming weekend. Also, to minimize the impact on loss of connectivity, we’ve decided to run a poll thru until April 1st to find out when our customers would prefer I run these updates. I will always runn them between 10pm and 2am, but we’re gonna let our customers pick which day. Which ever day has the most votes by April 1st, wins, and after April 1st, I will begin running updates only on that particular day in order to minimize impact on downtown.

Hyper Fusion Forums
I will be updating the phpBB message board software with its security updates this weekend and enabling the video portions of the software. Next week we will begin our upload of our customer video help files, as well as some outtakes and other videos of the filming process as we’re on our road to producing the pilot episode of our TV showed. When we release the pilot episode, we will release the name we chose for the show.

Hyper Vision ipTV Updates
We will be updating the transcoding servers this weekend to pre-pair for our new upstream distributor. Our old provider that lost their transmission license just wasn’t cutting it. We know you folks are anxious for AMC and USA, TNN, NBC, Comedy Central, they will be back, hopefully by the end of the month. Revision B Hyper Vision Mobile devices should be ready to replace the Revision A units we have out now. The new units have MASSIVE 15ah, yes, that’s ah, not mAH, not milli amps, batteries in them. They last for DAYS and our custom designed wireless charging and wireless display cradles will be in along with them, allowing you to plug in your TV’s HDMI cable, and a supplied power adapter to the MAGNETIC charging cradle. You mount it to your wall, and your device just sticks right to it and charges and passes the video to your TV. When your ready to leave, you just grab it off the wall and go. No cables to plug in, or fuss with, never have to worry about charging it. The Revision B units will also double as 4G LTE / 5G mobile hotspots as well as a portable desktop PC that you can plug into a hotels wifi and bring your bluetooth keyboard and mouse and have a full fledged 8 core powerful workstation PC where ever you go. These will be installed with the full beta release of the Fusion OS Mobile operating system that has both an Android emulator and Apple emulator ( used under full legal license ) so customers can install apps from either source. Just like we’ve done with internet, we’re going to fuse all mobiles apps into 1 unified platform allowing you to seamlessly migrate your usage to the HyperNET. The Revision B, will release with 4 themes, the default Fusion OS theme, your own customizable theme, an Android theme, or an apple theme. This will allow customers to get familiar with Fusion OS without having to relearn a whole new “device”.
For those of you who are not subscribed yet we are not in public beta release yet. Once we get our full channel library we will be accept registrations and orders for Hyper Vision Mobile boxes as well. They will go fast and our next order will only be for 100 units. We will make an announcement when it comes time to release this awesome service. We will be the first live television provider to allow customers a TRUE pick a channel / ala-carte system.
South Network Connectivity
So, although I have repaired the routing tables, I do need to go back in and do about 3 hours of router work this weekend. When I do, we’ll be experiencing the same issues as before as I have to engage our backup primary gateway connection to handle the customer load while I make the required updates. I wish there was a way around it but there isn’t. We’re finalizing the last of the network changes to get our entire network pure IPv6 network as well as linking the networks.
Arrowhead / Cactus Creek Repeater
We are having some backbone issues due to a high amount of interference from DirecTV dishes at Our Friends 1. We have ordered a special pair of radios to work around this and expect them in before the week is out with installation being parked for next week. Once we get those up, all our Cactus Creek, Oakalla, Arrowhead, and Copperas Cove customers will be scheduled for install.
Our Friends 1 & 2
Our Friends 1 on Wednesday will be getting its complete system install so folks will be to get online, even all the way in the back. Our Friends 2 will be getting a temporary system installed before the weekend to enjoy their coming festivities. We ask that folks please continue to provide us with speed tests, and if you know how to get your Direct TV and HugestNET boxes into the highest 5GH channel possible that would be awesome.
Lampasas
We have completed our Lampasas South and Lampasas East repeaters and they are now ready for customers. As we’ve learned from our recent meeting with the current Mayor of Lampasas, the city intends on running their own internet themselves and charging it on their utilities bills. As such, unless any Lampasas customers are able to pull permits to hang fiber on their utility poles at this time. If you do not want this, we encourage ALL our customers and potential customers to call the Mayors office and DEMAND they let Hyper Fusion on the utility poles. If all of you Lampasas folks stand up to the city and demand they let other people in that would be help maybe encourage it.
Burnet Fusion Fiber
Later this week we will be installing our Burnet Fiber DMARC location and later next month we will be ready to start running lines to Burnet Fiber To The Home and Business customers. Thankfully, Burnet is a lot easier to work with then Lampasas as they are interested in expanding and growing. Not so much over there.
Website & Fusion Portal Updates
This weekend on Saturday I will be running some MASSIVE website updates and Fusion Portal updates. Mostly running some security system upgrades and installing our custom programmed firmware on all of our gear. We’ve already experienced most customers experiencing doubling in speeds and latency as low as 15ms. We’ve also grown so much we had to move our Fusion Portal server to it’s own new dedicated server. Not only do we lease co-location space for our servers in 2 different data centers now, but we also have 2 different physical fiber uplink providers now, and will be plugging in 2 more fibers to each of these gateway’s ( Kempner & Burnet ) so that each gateway itself have 2 different fibers feeding them as well. In mid-May we will be adding a 5gig Verizon line and a 5gig Cogent line. This will super increase redundancy and drastically reduce downtime.
Delivery Network Updates
In case most folks didn’t know, what Hyper Fusion refers to it’s “Delivery Network” we are referring to our network of towers, fiber access DMARC’s, long haul fiber, privately owned dark fiber, and partner networks. ALL of our delivery network infrastructure is 100% wholelly owned with the exception of our WORLDWIDE and MULTIPLE wireless 4G LTE providers. yes, folks, if you didn’t know, our HyperNET SIM cards work WORLDWIDE! No switching or buying different SIM cards when you go to London to catch the symphony. 1 Bill, all your devices, 1 service, 1 network. The HyperNET is here folks. It’s the internet re-mastered! With that in mind, we will be putting up some new 5g mobile cells in Burnet today as well as getting the mounts up over in downtown Lampasas and Lampasas’s 5g wireless system is coming folks. We hope to have it installed in time for Spring Ho.
New Headquarters Coming!
That’s right folks, Hyper Fusion is growing so much, our little temporary office just isn’t working for us any longer. We have made the decision to start looking for a property to serve as Hyper Fusion’s first HQ Campus. We’re looking for enough land so we can build separate buildings for our Call Center, Datacenter, Machine Shop, Warehouse, Yard for all the tower stuff and heavy machine equipment, and of course, the Administrative offices. We have several locations in mind, once we settle on one, we will be starting a long extensive project of running a new SUPER heavy duty backbone bunker fiber from a datacenter in South Austin, thru the Burnet / Marble Falls area where it will link into our new HQ Campus, and then continue on all the way thru to San Angelou.
Once the new campus is complete we will be doing lots of hiring. We’ve already started looking at folks, so if your looking for a summer job, check out our jobs page. Also, if your interested in being an installer, there is no experience required. We have a unique system that allows us to take workers freshly graduated from highschool and have them operating as high end highly productive engineers.
Nice Work
