AT&T Local Services
(formerly Teleport Communications Group)
New York, NY

Challenge:

In 1995, AT&T sought to construct a backbone connection from New York City to eastern Long Island.

Solution:

J&L Technologies engineered a 70 mile, redundant backbone that totaled in excess of 150 cable miles. The underground route, with aerial diversity, was researched, selected, designed, permitted, constructed, and tested within a 12-month period.


		Coordination of conduit construction alone encompassed 50 separate projects totaling approximately 60,000 trench feet, with 10-15 projects active concurrently.

		GIS (Geographic Information Systems), GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) systems, CAD, and custom Windows™ programming were a few of the tools J&L Technologies employed to facilitate job progress.

		J&L Technologies’ custom mapping applications (utilizing MapInfo™) assisted in the project presentation, design, and coordination.

RCN Corporation
Dallas, PA

Challenge:

In the late ’90s, RCN Corporation, the nation’s first and largest facilities-based competitive provider of bundled phone, cable television and high-speed internet services, sought to expand their network into the tri-state area.

Solution:


		In 1998, J&L Technologies strand walked and digitized eleven community boards in Queens, NY, totaling 1,161 miles of cable. (In 2000, J&L also engineered approximately 70,000 trench feet of conduit design for the Queens project).

		From mid-1999 to date, J&L Technologies has stranded, walked, and digitized 22 townships in New Jersey, totaling 1,254 miles of cable.

		J&L Technologies has recently completed 211 miles of RF design in the greater Boston metropolitan area.
