L.U. 357 (c,i,mt&se), LAS VEGAS, NV — Our members, working with Dynalectric, had the amazing experience of installing the DAS (distributed antenna system) at the Formula 1 speedway in the heart of Las Vegas.
The DAS includes approximately 100,000 feet of fiber optic cable running between the rooftop and the racecar pit garages. There were twenty 5G antennas installed on the roof directly next to the scoreboards and aerial view screens (which were installed by Bombard Electric).
Local 357 members did all of the electrical work on permanent structures for the project, and the world saw it in its entirety as the race unfolded. IBEW contractors who worked on the project include Bombard Electric, Communication Technology Services, Dynalectric, Fisk Electric, LC Electric, Live Electric and Summit Electric.
We are grateful to have been a part of one of the most dynamic projects ever to take place in Las Vegas! Thank you to Mike DeCilla and Porfirio Lopez for submitting the photo and for the information included in this article.
