Newark Liberty International Airport, Terminal A Redevelopment

One of the largest design-build projects in New Jersey's history. Our team was engaged before the first fiber cable was pulled, when only a concrete slab stood where the terminal is now, and was integrated into the design of the network, voice and cybersecurity systems from the outset.

John F. Kennedy International Airport, Terminal 1 & Terminal 6 Redevelopments

Two terminals under construction at once, with very different problems, both delivered without a single unplanned outage. Alongside the terminal work, we maintain and modernize the backbone behind JFK's airfield operations, security checkpoints and parking revenue, built for close to 62 million passengers a year.

Lead Network Integrator
Terminal 6 Redevelopment

Designed, configured, tested and installed the data, security and voice systems for a full-scale terminal redesign, validated before opening day rather than after.

Lead Network Integrator
Terminal 1 Redevelopment

A fiber demolition and migration sequence that kept live airport operations online while the existing terminal came down around them.
