The first question is not which radio, cable, carrier, or satellite terminal to buy. It is whether the remote building needs the farm network, independent internet, backup service, or a designed combination.
Useful on its own. You do not need to hire 2Labs to complete it.
What you will finish with
- A workload and device inventory
- One-hour and one-day outage consequences
- A site sketch and future-change record
- Wireless-path and endpoint questions
- Fiber-route, Kansas 811, and private-utility boundaries
- Cellular and Starlink field-test records
- A complete installed and lifecycle-cost comparison
- A shortlist, failure plan, and assigned next step
How to use it
- Classify the job as LAN extension, independent internet, backup, or a designed combination.
- Draw the buildings, routes, obstructions, utilities, and future construction.
- Record field evidence at the proposed installation points.
- Compare complete installed and recurring costs—not hardware boxes.
- Assign every missing fact to a survey, carrier test, locate, contractor, electrician, or provider question before buying.

Need field measurements or a second opinion? 2Labs can help document the site and compare options. Utility locating, excavation, electrical, tower, and engineered-radio work stays with the appropriate qualified parties.
