Above and Beyond – Restoring Service to Baldy Mountain
When equipment fails on Baldy Mountain, restoring service isn’t just a job; it’s a full-on expedition.
On April 29, 2025, our customers in the Sandpoint Baldy region began experiencing a service outage affecting internet, hosted voice, and transport connections. Our team quickly traced the issue to a complete failure of a critical piece of equipment, a switch, located at our Baldy Mountain fixed wireless tower, one of the most remote and rugged locations in our network.

he Intermax tower team has been hard at work this month strengthening and expanding your network! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what we’ve been up to:
St. Maries and Worley, ID: We’ve deployed a new 4+0 microwave backhaul link between Hellsgulch and Mason Butte, doubling the capacity from 1.5 Gbps to 3 Gbps. This link serves as a redundant path for St. Maries, strengthening our ability to maintain service and throughput for the area whenever the primary fiber link experiences outages or disruptions. This upgrade is part of our ongoing efforts to build resilient, high-availability service for our customers.
Athol, ID: Significant infrastructure upgrades were completed on Lone Mountain, including which includes repairs to Sector 56 cabling, improved fiber connectivity to Tarana wireless sectors, and Installation of a QSFP module to prepare for a 40 Gbps future capacity (up from 10 Gbps today)
St. Maries, ID: Our newest tower build at Black Lake is progressing rapidly, helping expand service into previously underserved areas.
Sandpoint, ID: We’ve moved our Schweitzer Village routing equipment into a new facility equipped with generator backup—adding resiliency and preparing for future service expansions to residents on the mountain
