ShoreTel phone was by the hot dogs.

Quick visit to @Cafe – Giants social

twits monitoring Twitter.

Those camera looking things are actually Wi-Fi

antenna. 931Cisco Access Points. I needed it

because there was no T-Mobile coverage.

The “speakers” under the solar panels are

actually cellular antennas. Verizon and AT&T.

Scattered around the stadium.

What could be behind this

innocuous door?

No phone system here. Remnants of old Centrex

system that cost the Giants $400,000 a year.
