IDAS & ODAS Experience
Back Bay DAS
Boston, MA
The project included installing 15 custom light poles to replace existing ones throughout the Back bay area. The team coordinated: Boston Police Department details; cranes to remove and install each light pole; bucket trucks used for removal and installation; and a civil construction crew to dig up and repair streets after new pole and concrete bases were installed. All poles contained a specialized base with Radio head units, capable of handling multi-carrier traffic, wired with the city power feed to the old pole and meters installed at each; as well as fiber optic cable taken in from a buried Hand hole box in the street. Antennas were mounted atop the poles and original light pole arms and functioning lights were field adapted an replaced to match the ones that were removed.
