National Monument
By Jonathan Huerta and Susan Teel, National Park Service

clothing (top).

Wireless radios and an access point at the lighthouse
keeper's quarters will enable staff to conduct LIVE living history programs
from the lighthouse, assistant keeper's quarters, and surrounding grounds.
HPWREN also assisted the National Park Service in piloting the first Living
History LIVE program which was broadcast from the Cabrillo visitor center
to the San Diego Supercomputer Center booth at the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference about a
month ago. Children and families stopped by the booth to participate in
living history role playing by interacting with interpreters in period
dress.
New access point installed on the assistant lighthouse
keeper's quarters.

Jim Hale (HPWREN), Pablo Bryant (SDSU), and Jonathan Huerta (NPS) mounted a
WiFi access point and radio transmitter to the assistant keeper's quarters
building, providing a clear line-of-sight to the Coast Guard tower. The goal
of the installation was to mount the access point and radio, with minimal
impact to the building and its aesthetics.
