GLEN BURNIE, MD, September 18, 2018 Vision Technologies, Inc., a leading systems integrator announced today that its Wi-Fi and PON Installation for an Outdoor Multi-Use Development was recognized by the judges of the annual Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of cabling and communications system specifiers, designers, integrators and managers with vast professional experience.

Vision was honored with a Platinum level award, the program’s highest honors. Vision Technologies designed, installed, and commissioned a unified Wi-Fi and PON system for The Wharf, a mile-long, 24-acre, $2.2 billion mixed-use development along the Potomac River in Washington, DC. The system provides state-of-the-art, pervasive 802.11ac wireless services to residents, workers and guests traversing the outdoor, garage, and 6,000-person indoor-convert-venue areas. The entire implementation, testing and commissioning was accomplished on a fast-track, 30-day schedule. Passive Optical LAN helped The Wharf to overcome some specific challenges.
