Program and Project Management

Project success ultimately hinges on selecting a single-source provider that can manage and complete each project on schedule and within budget Professional project management is a cornerstone of ADC’s success Its program management organization is experienced in small to large-scale implementations These teams provide comprehensive project planning, anticipate critical milestones, and manage all project details

ADC is committed to competence across multivendor, multitechnology platforms to ensure projects are completed on time, on budget, and within specifications Its project management teams deliver results that improve the customer’s bottom line

Network and Inventory Audit

By analyzing customer network elements and providing accurate information, ADC helps deliver higher quality service and reduce service downtime Its network and inventory audit team documents all of the elements within headend and hub facilities, including infrastructure layout, facility interconnections, equipment configuration and signal flows which provides an accurate and up-to-date network

information which results in faster and less expensive moves, adds, and changes

ADC strives to understand network details and identify requirements first, so it can customize services to satisfy operator-specific needs After a physical site audit, the team works to implement quality processes for further documentation of ongoing changes From high-level overviews to an individual port, the operator knows exactly where its network stands for long-term planning, speedy installation and provisioning, or troubleshooting and repair

Engineering Services

ADC’s design engineering services provide expertise in designing networks that facilitate future proof designs, which increase revenue growth by simplifying implementation of new services With extensive experience in design and detail engineering of analog and digital video systems, high-speed data and voice networks, ADC produces world class engineering plans and documentation designed to maintain high quality services as well as address the next wave of advanced applications This includes headend and hub infrastructure and electronic buildout designs, transmit and receive path designs, signal

grooming and capacity planning

Material Services

On-time project completion is highly dependent on material availability and handling ADC offers

innovative strategies for customer-driven materials management, distribution, and logistics Procurement services and staging locations around the United States ensure materials are ordered accurately and delivered to the job site in a timely manner for successful deployment

Preconfigured Equipment Solutions

New technologies and system upgrades often require repeatable solutions custom-tailored to meet specific network requirements From a single rack or cabinet configuration to a fully configured secondary hub, ADC designs and builds customized solutions offering operators the flexibility to specify any type

of equipment for each preconfigured solution ADC delivers multitechnology, multivendor solutions, focusing on the integration of cost-effective, reliable designs This includes acquiring all system

components; mounting components in a cabinet, rack, hut or vault; pretesting for system continuity; and burning in the electronic components to ensure system integrity prior to field deployment ADC’s solutions save operator’s time and money by simplifying their ordering and material management process, easing installation, and reducing potential problems during network integration

Installation Services

Cost-effective, reliable installation is vital to successful network deployment It can significantly reduce time to market, limit operational expenses, and increase service revenues But only if performed correctly,

by an experienced team committed to quality

ADC’s highly trained installation teams have the breadth of capabilities, services, and nationwide footprint

to handle everything from large-scale build-outs and regional deployment programs to local installation projects With nearly 20 years of experience in the engineering, furnishing, and installation business, ADC ensures its installers arrive on-site ready for the task, armed with detailed drawings, specifications, procedures, and documentation All installations follow industry-accepted and customer-specific standards

Commissioning and Integration

Service providers face a myriad of challenges—aggressive implementation deadlines, rapid deployment of new technologies, and fewer trained technical resources—that hinders return on network investments Fortunately, ADC has the extensive multivendor product knowledge and expertise to develop a fully functional transmission path that helps service providers provision services, limit costs, and generate revenues more quickly than ever before By effectively commissioning and integrating equipment into the network, ADC enables rapid service deployment and delivers greater network capacity Proven discovery, planning, and implementation processes are the keys to ADC’s success in incorporating all specifications and requirements into the overall design and implementation effort

Decommissioning and Removals

Service providers are thoroughly evaluating equipment and offices to achieve optimal efficiency in their networks Space and equipment are no longer commodities Closer scrutiny often reveals that the evolution to new technologies requires obsolete legacy equipment to be removed or reused in another location ADC disconnects and moves network bays, cabinets, and old equipment to reclaim valuable floor space in facilities All types of equipment can be removed for reuse, scrap, or proper disposal in accordance with customers’ requests

Maximize Efficiency, Accelerate Profits — Process-Driven Results

Amid a tenuous economic marketplace with slashed capital expenditure budgets, planners, engineers, and operators must aggressively seek new ways to maximize efficiency and accelerate services revenue

in their networks ADC’s Systems Integration has a process-driven approach that can help solve many

of today’s unique network challenges
