PROBLEM 3:
TEMPERATURE VARIED FROM 20C IN DAY to -5C IN NIGHT WHICH DAMAGED NETWORKING CABLES AS PLASTIC AND COPPER HAS DIFFERENT CONTRACTION AND EXPANSION

SOLUTION
SPECIAL TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL STRENGHT CABLES WERE USED THAT COULD WITHSTAND LARGE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT

PROBLEM 4:
EARTHS NEUTRAL VOLTAGE WAS -5C WHICH IS HIGHER THAN -1C ,WHICH IS REQUIRED BY VSATs TO FUNCTION, SO THERE WAS IMPROPER EARTHING

SOLUTION
SPECIAL EARTHPIT WAS CREATED WITH SAND, CHARCOAL AND DUST AND IT WAS WATERED REGULARLY
