Our Big Project

For the past year, I had the opportunity to work as a Project Manager for one of the largest DAS deployments in North America. It's a healthcare / hospital facility located in Mid-West with over 8 million square ft of coverage area. We completed the first phase of the project in July (11). This phase included 38 buildings under 1 integrated system. Phase 2 is smaller in scope than the first one, but by the time we are done we have 1000+ antennas in this campus wide DAS. In Phase 1 alone, we have run over 19 miles of coaxial cable, and 60+ miles of fiber. This was a big team effort, and we finished the project before deadline and under budget.

I was intimately involved in the project, not only as a project manager, but also commissioned and integrated the system along with my Field Manager Kevin Wysocki . It was a hell of an experience!

In the next few blog posts, I will capture the lessons I learned from this project.  Due to liability issues, I will probably not get into lessons learned from the equipment side, and so focus more on the management side of the project.
