Project Overview
The Airport is expanding to support the returning travelers and
prepare for the continued growth.
New systems and services are being offered to improve the
experience of the travelers, tenants, and port employees. Many of
these systems require high speed and capacity data connections.
WIFI access points, People counter sensors for check points, airline check
in and gate operations, security cameras, ADR business transactions.
This project will add new connections to the airport to support the
continued growth and improve the customer experience.

Background
In early 2000's, the port established the
Communication Infrastructure Backbone
System (CIBS). This created the Main
Distribution Rooms (MDR) and the outlying
communications equipment rooms (ER).
Dedicated cable trays were also installed
between the MDR's and the ER that contain
the Airport current fiber connections.

This system established a data network that
connects service providers to users
throughout the airport.

Project Scope
Add connections to 35 comm rooms that are:
23 Out of connections (100% full)
12 Nearly full (85% or greater)
Use existing cable tray for new fiber connection
New fiber runs between the MDRs to equipment rooms
located in:
Main Terminal
South Satellite
Administration building (AOB)
Concourse B
