[Mesh] Richmond tower update

[max b]

Hey Paige,

I'd love to join you on any of the community trips to Richmond that you
schedule. I'll be back in the bay area on Monday, so pretty much any time
after that I would be free to come along. I could also bring along some
relevant hardware, etc. if we wanted to show them what we're talking about.
I'd also commit to doing some amount of network administration stuff to
help get a test deployment up there and do some basic performance
monitoring. The timing with getting a deployment up might be a little
tricky because we want to make sure we have everything right before we make
any promises, but our current test deployments have been working well, so
hopefully we'll be ready in time.

Thanks for putting in the work to connect to these folks and keeping us up
to date on it!


Max
