Scope Of Work

Story posted below from Ohio State University: COLUMBUS, Ohio Texting with friends and family and posting on social media inside Ohio Stadium is about to become a reality for more than 100,000 fans. The project to improve high density wireless connectivity is expected to be completed in time for the season opening game August 31 against Florida Atlantic. "The contractors working on behalf of the Department of Athletics and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (0Cio) have worked above and beyond to get us to this point of having stadium-wide Wi-Fi in time for the first game," senior associate athletics director/chief information officer Jim Null said. "Those involved - the Design Team, Osborn Engineering, Smoot Construction, Ohio Electric Kastle and Ampthink - knew how important expanded coverage in the stadium was for our fans and they have worked efficiently and quickly to get this installation completed. Performance is important, as well. The first game will set a baseline for Wi-Fi that will help us make adjustments and fine-tune performance for each subsequent game. Workers will have pulled 47 miles of copper and fiber wire throughout Ohio Stadium when the project is completed. The wire is connected to a massive number of access points 2,009 - that have been installed since the project began in January of this year. The installation of 4,018 antennas is also included in the project. Equipment has all been seamlessly placed to blend in and to not disrupt the iconic integrity of the facility.
