JMA Wireless empowers mobile communications at the World Trade Centre Transportation Hub
JMA Wireless is enabling mobile connectivity at New York City’s World Trade Centre Transportation Hub, which is located in the middle of the new World Trade Centre buildings and its 9/11 Memorial. Multiple solutions, including JMA Wireless’ powerful Teko DAS (distributed antenna system), have been deployed to ensure wireless network coverage throughout the Vehicle Security Centre (VSC), the subway platforms, bus station, loading docks, and the Westfield World Trade Centre mall.
In addition to providing the wireless infrastructure equipment, JMA Wireless also worked closely with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the neutral host on overseeing all aspects of the project, from RF design, deployment and integration to commissioning and optimisation of the system.
The Transportation Hub is the third largest transportation facility in New York City, measuring one million square feet with 365,000 square feet dedicated to the high end shopping complex. This area serves over 320,000 local residents on a daily basis and is expected to serve one million plus annual visitors. The facilities are housed under an above ground area known as the Oculus Pavilion. The 355ft operable skylight known as the Oculus was designed by the world renowned Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava.
Every year on 9/11 the skylight of the Oculus will be opened to the sky for 102 minutes as an annual remembrance of the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City.
