The highest Valley of the death of California sits Sero GordoFrozen ghost town in time. Once the tumultuous silver mining camp in the nineteenth century, this historical site was given a second chance thanks to the vision of the Acting Chargé d’Affaires Brent Andrewwood, who returns the city to a tourist destination. It appeared on the famous YouTube channel, Ghost Town Living, and drew attention to its ambitious goals of mixing historical preservation with modern amenities.
One of the main obstacles stood on the way to reviving Siro Geordo: delivery. The distant site, the cruel terrain, and the rugged structures made the trusted internet providing a tremendous challenge. Enter Modern talk solutionsIt is a pioneering network and information technology, which has taken the task of designing and installing a strong network for Ghost Town. To ensure their success, they turned into Truecable for products capable of bearing the harsh conditions of Cerro Gordo.
This customer success story separates how Crossstalk solutions used Truecable products to overcome unique challenges and build a ready -made network in the future that transforms life in Cerro Gordo.
Challenge: Bringing contact to the ghost city
Cerro Gordo, which floats 8,300 feet above sea level, presented a unique set of challenges for network installation. The property extends over an area of 336 acres of sharp mountains, abandoned mine columns, and scattered historical buildings, making them anything indirect. The operation of cables through this rugged terrain requires careful planning to deal with natural obstacles such as rock soil and challenges that human manufacture, such as debris from the city mining days.
The most complex things for the buildings themselves were. Many historical structures for Cerro Gordo, including the public store and the American hotel, wear metal clothes, which interfere with wireless signals. This team was forced to design a network based on wireless links from point to point and strategic arrival points. In addition to the complexity, some critical sites lack electricity, which requires at the last minute adjustments to the original network plan.
Maintaining the historical aesthetic of the city was another important. The modern equipment needed to mix them smoothly with the surrounding areas so that it did not detract from the magic of the nineteenth century that defines Sero Geordo. Each productive decision had to install each of the functions and visual impact.
Why Truecable was the perfect suitability
For a project of this size and complexity, CROSSTALK solutions needed network products that were not only reliable, but also able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Truecable’s Cat6 direct air burial cable It has been proven to be the perfect solution for Cerro Gordo.

The cable protected design has made an electromagnetic overlap, which is very important given the mineral -covered buildings on property. Water -resistant registration and insulation provides superior protection against water, dust and maximum temperatures, ensuring fixed performance despite the harsh climate. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the outer brown jacket of the cable, which allowed them to fuse naturally with the historical structures of Cerro Gordo. These small but influencing details helped maintain the aesthetic safety of the site while meeting the technical requirements of the project.

In addition to the cable, Truecable’s RJ45 Pass the standard plugs It was useful in simplifying the termination. These plugs included reliable contacts, even for the run of long cables, and it was easy to install in difficult external conditions. I also used Crosstalk Truecable’s Truecrimp All-in-One toolThat simplifies the termination process and provides additional functions such as experimenting with external basic wires.

Construction: Overcoming obstacles in the actual time
The installation process in Cerro Gordo requires artistic experience and solving creative problems. Crosstalk solutions initially planned to use the public store as a main axis of the network. However, upon their arrival, they discovered that the building lacks electricity, forcing them on the axis to an alternative site. Gordon House was chosen as a new center, and it turned out that its central location is suitable for the network design to a point to point.
Cerero Gordo’s rough terrain is not an easy task. Crosstalk solutions cables that are carefully directed through abandoned mines and rock bumps to connect different parts of the property. Truecable’s Cat6 cable in the open air It has proven its durability, as it deals with the harsh conditions without a problem. The brown cable jackets blend smoothly with the historical environment, ensuring that modern infrastructure did not detract from the visual call of the city.

Despite the challenges, Crosstalk Solutions has succeeded in publishing a network that provides reliable internet coverage across the property. The basis installation of future expansion, ensuring that Cerro Gordo is ready for the next semester.
Results: a network designed for the future

The new network had a deep effect on life in Cerro Gordo. Volunteers, care and guests can now access the reliable Wi -Fi service, make communication, work and recreational activities more suitable. Those in charge of caring for equipment, coordinating renewal efforts, communicating throughout the property can significantly improve efficiency and safety.

This infrastructure is also resistance in the future, designed to support the upcoming expansion as Cerro Gordo grows into a tourist destination. There are already ongoing plans to expand the coverage range to a new cabin, rebuild the historic American hotel, and expand the connection deeper into the lambs. The network that is installed by CrossTalk Solutions, supported by Truecable products, may represent the way for these future developments.
Reactions from the field
The network installation had a transformational impact on Cerro Gordo. Volunteers, care and guests now have reliable internet connection, make communication, coordinate project, and daily activities are smoother. Brent Andrew, the owner of Sero Gordo, shared his ideas in a post -installation interview, saying: “Everything (Crosstalk solutions) has made things easier, (…) and everyone I spoke to has been neglected that the Internet is working!” This reliable communication was a changing toys for the city, allowing sponsors to monitor equipment, coordinate restoration efforts and ensure safety through wide property.
We at Truecable We are pleased to contribute to such a transformative project. Seeing our products plays a role in mixing historical preservation with modern technology incredibly permissible, and we are excited to support future expansion in Cerro Gordo.
Lessons learned: What this project studies are mutual solutions
Cerro Gordo Project provided valuable lessons for future network installations. Perhaps the most important fast food is the need for flexibility. Despite careful planning, unexpected challenges-such as the lack of strength in the public store-have benefited from the existing adjustments. The ability to adapt to Crossstalk Solutions included the project’s appearance on the right track and finally succeeded.
Preparation is also necessary. At a distant location like Cerro Gordo, where it is difficult to re -supply or material, the presence of backup copies of the critical ingredients is a must. Finally, the project stressed the importance of choosing the products that complement their surroundings. By using brown cables that mixed in the historical environment, Crosstalk Solutions maintained the aesthetic call of Cerro Gordo with a modern connection.
What is the following for Cerro Gordo?
The network installed by Crosstalk Solutions is just the beginning of Cerro Gordo. Future projects include rebuilding the American hotel, expanding the scope of contact with new ambushes, and operating cables deeper into the lines of mines. With reliable and durable Truecable products, these expansions will be supported by the same infrastructure that has already proven its value.
