Building the Network Before the Data Centers Are Built

The ATSC Solution

Three EnGenius platforms, one integrated architecture

ATSC designed the project around three primary EnGenius technology platforms, working together to support the construction workforce while providing centralized management throughout the project.

1. High-Performance Wi-Fi 7 for the Construction Workforce

Each data center site uses 72 EnGenius ECW536 Wi-Fi 7 access points — 144 in total — giving contractors and project personnel broad access to Internet and network resources while working throughout the site. Rather than returning to a temporary construction office, workers can access online resources from laptops, smartphones, and tablets in the field.

Figures shown per site. Across both data centers: 2 ECS5512F aggregate switches, 24 ECS5512FP PoE++ switches, 52 10G transceivers, and 144 ECW536 access points.

2. Cloud-Managed AI Video Surveillance

With 40 EnGenius ECC100 AI cameras deployed at each site, project teams get video coverage across strategically selected areas — entrances and exits, equipment and material storage, staging locations, and other designated areas. The Cloud-managed platform lets authorized personnel access surveillance remotely, while AI and edge-based analytics help identify events that need a closer look.

The same camera infrastructure doubles as a remote project-visibility tool. Executives, project managers, and contractor teams who can't be on site every day can observe construction activity, confirm progress at different stages, and supplement meetings and reports with real-time visual information.

3. Connecting the Two Data Centers Wirelessly

One of the most distinctive parts of the project is the connection between the two physically separate construction sites. ATSC deployed an EnGenius EOC600 Point-to-Point wireless solution — one outdoor unit at each data center — creating a wireless bridge that lets the two locations share a common network environment without relying exclusively on a physical fiber run between the properties.

The Business Impact

A network that goes to work before the building does

During construction, the network becomes a tool used by the people actually building the facility. The EnGenius solution is designed to deliver:

• Reliable wireless connectivity across two large construction sites
• Wi-Fi 7 access for laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices
• A high-capacity 10-Gigabit network backbone
• AI-enabled video surveillance throughout both facilities
• Point-to-Point wireless connectivity between the two data center sites
• Centralized Cloud visibility and management
• A flexible infrastructure capable of evolving with the construction project

Beyond This Project

What Does ATSC Provide for Data Centers?

American Technology Solutions & Cloud (ATSC) provides technology infrastructure solutions designed to support data centers throughout the construction phase and into ongoing operations.

Our capabilities include high-performance wired and wireless network infrastructure, Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, 10-Gigabit switching and fiber connectivity, Point-to-Point wireless communications, cloud-managed networking, AI-enabled video surveillance, structured cabling, cybersecurity, Internet connectivity, Cloud/VoIP communications, and ongoing technical support.

For data center construction projects, ATSC can design and deploy temporary and permanent technology infrastructure that gives general contractors, construction teams, project managers, subcontractors, security personnel, and other authorized users reliable access to the communications and network resources they need across large and rapidly changing construction environments.

By combining network design, deployment, cloud management, security, and ongoing support through a single technology partner, ATSC helps reduce complexity while providing the scalability required as a data center construction project progresses from groundbreaking through completion and operation.

Why This Matters for Data Center Construction

Modern data center construction sites depend on reliable connectivity long before the permanent data center network becomes operational.

Construction management platforms, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, security cameras, access systems, project documentation, cloud applications, VoIP communications, and coordination between contractors all depend on access to a reliable network.

Traditional construction-site connectivity can become increasingly difficult to manage as projects expand, buildings take shape, crews relocate, and additional contractors arrive onsite. Data center projects present an even greater challenge because of their size, security requirements, technology density, and demanding construction schedules.

A properly designed cloud-managed network gives project teams the ability to expand coverage as construction progresses, centrally monitor network devices, support security and surveillance systems, and maintain communications across the jobsite.

For projects involving multiple nearby construction sites, Point-to-Point wireless technology can also provide a high-speed connection between locations without waiting for additional carrier circuits or trenching new physical cabling between properties.

More than faster Wi-Fi, the result is a secure, connected technology infrastructure that keeps complex data center construction projects productive and on schedule.
