One more wireless builder
Need a coal fired plant built? Or an electrical distribution system installed? How about some wireless cell sites or something more complicated? Like the terrestrial arm of Sirius Satellite Radio? Contact Black & Veatch (external link). This infrastructure company, like the others listed below, put together the facilities we use every day. This is interesting about Sirius:
"Enabling the successful operation of Sirius Satellite Radio, specifically the terrestrial repeater network, was the job of the Black & Veatch Telecommunications Division. Turning this vision into a reality was a unique challenge for Black & Veatch, said Black & Veatch Director of Wireless Projects Mike Berry. Our role was to help make this entertainment-changing vision a reality by designing and constructing a nationwide network of 92 terrestrial repeater sites in the 56 largest U.S. cities. These sites are needed to fill in gaps in the satellite signal coverage which are created by the impact of land based facilities that block the satellite signal from the intended receiver. The facilities blocking signals are most typically tall buildings and other large facilities that interrupt the line of sight between the satellites and the vehicle antenna."
