>> My primary concern is safety and it's a big issue when it comes to our projects. We've got to make sure we send everybody home in one piece. If you get easily distracted with a PDA, a cell phone, a tablet and so on, you can literally walk off a 60-story building. So you are not in a safe environment. When you're walking around your office with your PDA, your brain kind of maps the hallways and knows where they are. Ours are changing every day. And you have things swinging at you three dimensionally, so you have to be very, very aware of your environment. And if you get caught up sending and texting and email, you can walk into a hole. So, you have to be very careful how we balance the technology in people's hands versus the environment that they're working in.
>> So do you have rules in place that you can't take your cell phone if you're up on this floor or?
>> No, we just have a lot of warnings and safety cautions and instruction our users to be very careful and things. It's a, it's a balancing act to using technology in certain parts of the buildings and certain projects. Keeping wireless signals in our buildings sometimes is also a very large challenge. We don't have permanent power. So power sometimes is coming off of generators. Access points can't be left in the same place. They'll get moved, cut, dropped, changed as the building is changing. So and the wireless technology doesn't always penetrate, meaning cellular wireless technology, doesn't always penetrate when we're pouring concrete cores and things like that and in batch plants and concrete trucks and large generators interfering with signals. So it is a challenging environment to keep a strong wireless signal 100% of the time within the project.
>> So as a result, do you have hard-wired T1 connections to these sites?
>> Yeah, they're all hard wired T1s at least to the job trailer. And then to get into the building, sometimes we're blasting wireless from a trailer site. Other times we are putting temporary access points throughout the structure and hoping that they don't get cut or moved and, and, and or stolen. And what we call Darwin Disease where they walk off the job. So.
>> Darwin Disease where they?
>> They grow feet and walk off the job.
>> I see.
>> The, the other issue that we have is you sometimes have 12, 13, 1400 people literally on a job site at any one time with all the different trades working. So if you have a piece of high technology and set it down for a few seconds, it may occasionally walk off the job. So you have to be very careful as well with these pieces of technology.
