This is the Further Reach team at our pre-Labor Day barbecue.

You can't outsource caring, so we don't outsource our network. Everything happens here, done by the people in this photo who know how to build reliable infrastructure on the coast and are driven to provide friendly, responsive support when something goes wrong. Dedicated, capable, and community-oriented.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Further Reach.

Another fire season, and there's a camera network on watch — 1,200+ cameras across California, run by UC San Diego's ALERTCalifornia program, scanning the highest-risk areas 24 hours a day. They can spot smoke before the first 911 call comes in.

We have hosted numerous cameras across our service area as part of this program since 2021. The team at ALERTCalifornia is sharp, and they keep pushing the technology forward.

We're proud to be part of it — especially given our own roots in University of California research.

Wireless internet providers like us turn out to be a natural fit for this kind of partnership. To deliver service across miles of rugged coastline, we place our infrastructure on high points with huge, unobstructed views — the same kind of viewshed a fire camera needs to do its job. What our radios can see, their cameras can see too. And because our sites are chosen for line-of-sight, not visibility, they tend to be carefully placed and arborist-approved — you'd walk right past most of them without knowing they were there.

Anyone can watch the live feeds themselves at alertcalifornia.org — it's public, free, and worth bookmarking if you want to check conditions during fire season.

This is the kind of infrastructure that only works because someone builds the last mile to it. That's true for fire cameras, and it's true for internet.

WE'RE HIRING — Customer Support (two openings)

Corporate internet providers replaced support staff with phone trees and chatbots. We went the other way: a local team, on the coast, that picks up.

As our customer base grows, we're hiring two senior customer support reps. Work from home, live in Mendocino County or northern Sonoma County, $22–$33/hr depending on experience. You don't need to be a network engineer — you need to be great with people.

And if you're not looking for a job — now you know a little more about who answers when you call us.

Proud to support the work RCLC does across the coast.

🌲🌐 Thank you, Further Reach🌐🌲
At Redwood Coast Land Conservancy, one of our goals is connection—connecting people to the land and sharing natural places that sustain us. Further Reach shares that same spirit through their Community Connect program, providing internet access to nonprofits like ours.
Their support helps us stay connected to our members, volunteers, and partners so we can keep doing the work of preserving, restoring, and sharing—because everyone deserves access, whether it's to open land or an open connection.

We run a public camera overlooking the Fort Bragg Airport — a free service we provide to the community so pilots can check conditions before they fly. It’s up around the clock, year-round.

Tomorrow, if the fog stays down, it may also offer a nice view of the fireworks over town.

Happy 4th from the Further Reach team.

A few 4ths ago, we were paddleboarding on the Gualala River just West of Mill Bend when this bald eagle landed a few feet away. Enormous creature — and completely unbothered by us. We drifted there a while, carefully worked a camera out of the dry bag just in time for this shot right as he took off.

He's more patriotic than our actual mascot — the swallows nesting under the bridge — so we'll let him have the day.

Happy July 4th All!
