UPDATING OUR NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE

Capacity constraints or coverage gaps?

Wireless Coverage Enhances Aspen Ski Resorts

In all-terrain vehicles and on foot, Pike Telecom field engineers conquered the powdery slopes while conducting small cell survey and node design services at the Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Snowmass and Highlands ski resorts. These major recreation destinations in the Rockies needed wireless coverage to satisfy vacationers expecting a first-class experience.

Pike Telecom handled all aspects of the project, including aerial route fiber design, node engineering, feasibility studies, power assessment, underground design, utility locates and conduit proofing. The total project incorporated over 120 small cell nodes to be installed on ski lift towers across the four mountains.

Our system allowed a national tower company to bring exceptional coverage to these four extremely popular resorts.

Super Bowl Network Helps Fans Share the Big Game

When Houston, Texas, was about to be inundated by fans during Super Bowl week, Pike Telecom was hired to make sure spectators could stay connected for every play.

We designed over 500 small cell nodes in the downtown Houston area to accommodate the huge influx of fans and media. Development of this expansive small cell network required field survey, node engineering and design, site permitting and structural pole loading analysis. We also designed elevated platforms to hold client equipment in specific high-risk areas to conform to the region’s 100-year flood plain requirements.

Pike Telecom was able to speedily turn around this time-sensitive project to maximize coverage and minimize event stress.

Anticipating a difficult roadblock?

Wireline Capacity Upgrades Benefit Cape Cod Businesses

With our extensive geographic reach and local relationships, we can support large, national infrastructure initiatives, as well as local projects that are critical to our clients’ success. Pike Telecom was selected to upgrade broadband capacity in Cape Cod and eliminate network constraints that were hampering local economic development efforts. We addressed this challenge by designing and engineering the $40 million fiber-optic Cape Cod Network.

Working closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pike Telecom designed over 400 miles of ADSS fiber-optic infrastructure, using our experience and industry relationships to streamline an installation process that required alignment with standards for government reporting, canal and river crossings, national seashore impacts and traffic restrictions. We also negotiated an accelerated timetable to meet critical project milestones.

The robust broadband network designed by Pike Telecom enhanced the competitive edge of local Cape Cod businesses, increasing revenue, reducing operating costs and attracting an increasingly skilled workforce.
