Scope Of Work

Mid Atlantic Contracting (MAC) was awarded the opportunity to install a distributed antenna system (DAS) and fiber optic cable system at M&T Bank Stadium, home to the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens. The new DAS provides fans with constant wireless coverage  the stadium, including reliable 4G LTE-capable data speeds. Mid Atlantic Contracting optimized the DAS design based on the unique limitations and conditions within the stadium. However the entire process, from site walk to installation, proved intensive due to the schedule and size of the deployment, and work continued  the football season. MAC rose to the challenge and the entire DAS became fully operational in December 2011, just before the season’s first playoff game and fitting well within the stadium’s timetable for completion.

The large installation brought in a total of 1,042 antennas, with 380 of them being panel antennas and the remaining 662 omni antennas. A total of 189,710 feet of coaxial cable was installed, which is enough to cover the distance from the stadium to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. MAC also placed 446 miles of fiber optic cables in the stadium, which when stretched out would reach from Baltimore to Quebec. The installation at M&T Bank Stadium took 103,318 man hours and 8,486 hours of testing, equating to over 12 years of work output. MAC also applied strict safety rules for the job, logging in a total of 840 hours.
