Corporate Data NetworkClient: Metro-North Railroad
This project consisted of a variety of tasks commencing with a survey of existing facilities (shops, warehouses, offices) at 12 campus locations including Grand Central Terminal. The purpose of the surveys was to determine the network access requirements for the various offices, identify physical locations for equipment rooms, establish cable routing between campus buildings and for the addition of the campus networks to the new SONET infrastructure being implemented. The work included assessment of the data traffic, development of LAN designs and network interface requirements, preparing equipment configurations and requirements, sizing equipment rooms, establishing power and HVAC requirements as well as preparing implementation cost estimates and a detailed project plan and timeline for installation at each of the campuses. The Corporate Data Network will utilize the SONET OC-192/OC-48 ATM network as the transport mechanism among campuses, an optical LAN among buildings in each campus, and a standards based 100 Mb/s LAN in each building utilizing fiber between equipment rooms and Category 6, level 7 copper cabling to the desks.
