"The majority of projects I work on involve retrofitting, improving, or redesigning existing network architectures. However, I have had several occasions to be involved with building a new facility. This provided me the unique opportunity of helping both the architects and the construction teams to optimize the design and buildout of the facility for the networking requirements. The input I provide includes how to best route conduits for network cables, eliminate dead zones and blind spots for wireless technology, and incorporate network connections in specific areas of the facility where they are needed. This is especially important when the facility is a data center and contains a great deal of networking technology."
