Project Overview
Establish new permanent telecommunication facility and connection pathway into the Airport
Telephone services
Internet and Intranet
Wi-Fi connectivity and Office connections
Airport Reservation System and Airport Check-in System
Cable Television
Benefits:
Relocate legacy connections and upgrade from copper to high-speed fiber.
Bring new services and service providers into the Airport.
Provide connection redundancy and resiliency (Dual Pathway).
Request:
Funding approval for design and construction of the building
Funding approval for design of fiber optic cable
Note: This project was put on hold (February 2020-September 2021) during the COVID-19 workplace
disruption.

Project Scope
Building Scope
Construct a secure facility with access gate and finish landscaping.
Install underground pathways to connect the building to the Airport and
Service providers.
Build out secure areas within the building for the Port and Service
providers to house equipment.
Fiber Scope
Install fiber interconnections between Service providers and Port
equipment.
Install fiber in a primary pathway to each Main Distribution Room (MDR).
Install fiber in a secondary pathway to each MDR.
New tray and conduit pathways are required to keep the connections separated.

Project Opportunities
Opportunity                    DESCRIPTION
Increased Resiliency            The project will be identifying and installing a secondary pathway to each
MDR from the MMR. This will provide data redundancy and resiliency to
the airport which is not currently available with the legacy connections.
Diversity of services and        The MMR will have space for new service providers to access the airport.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
