The initial phase of this solution is to install paging horns and ceiling speakers throughout the facility. The second phase of this project is to install SIP paging strobes and emergency push buttons that can alert the employees with a specific message on the speakers and a matching color on the strobes. The first phase of the project was s success with all the horns installed and connected back to the SIP paging server.

Over 2 weeks, we terminated and certified over 400 single-mode fiber strands. Most cabinets required a man lift to gain access. We worked closely with the customer to ensure that each IDF was standardized according to their criteria. Because we have multiple certified fiber optic technicians at Politon, we completed the job with minimal issues. The fiber tray being used in the MDF did not have enough bays to accommodate the 18 IDFs worth of fiber, so we had to use 24 port bulkheads instead of the typical 12 port. In the course of the job, unfortunately, some of our work was damaged by some other construction workers. We were able to repair this damage and still get the job completed on time for our customer.

Pilot Point, TX

December 12, 2023

We installed IP Cameras within four separate buildings each with its own NVR. The customer did not want to network these buildings together but wanted to have remote access to the NVR of each building. We installed approximately 40 IP security cameras with infra-red night vision. Some cameras are mounted on an arm on the exterior and others are flush mounted on the ceiling within the building. Overall this project went very well. We have had to do some follow-up training with the customer on accessing his cameras with his desktop as well as his cell phone. Our crew did enjoy eating at a restaurant they had never tried before - Uncle Betos in Pilot Point. They serve good chips and hot sauce if you're ever in the area.

The customer started their paging project by calling Bogen to get a list of equipment to install in their small warehouse. The equipment Bogen recommended was (1) PCM2000 3 Zone Paging System, (1) TPU 250 Amplifier and (3) SPT30A Paging horns. The next step was to find a vendor to install this solution. The customer called us and we did a site visit to see the site and hardware. We quoted using a 16 gauge two-strand cable daisy chained between the three 30-watt horns and made a solid paging solution. We did help the customer with their paging gateway device provided by their hosted IP phone provider (Spectrum) and had them program it correctly. Once they fixed it we could ring our test phone, the PCM2000 answered and it was all up and running. The customer was very happy with our installation team and wanted to know if we would travel to Georgia for the same solution in another facility.

Politon helped Siemons with a two-part network project in south Fort Worth, TX. The largest part of the project was to install directional Wifi antennas in each row of the racking in their warehouse. This involved mounting both the Wifi access point and the additional external directional antenna. We numbered each board according to the customer's numbering scheme and painted it the required color as well. These Cisco directional antennas are great in narrow high racking with the range extending just beyond the end of both ends of the racking. The second part of the project was to install data cabling to several desk locations. Each location had a triple drop inside liquid-tight flexible conduit with a strain wire mesh support at the top. On the bottom of the drop was a four-square box with a face plate. All cabling for both the data drops and the Wifi is Siemons data cabling. Siemons has been very happy with our work and has asked us to work on several other projects for them as well in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Politon is a Siemons Certified Installer with all the required test equipment and certifications that professional installation requires. Siemons offers a 25-year cabling warranty on Certified Installation.

Texas Security Bank has been a long-time customer of ours and we have been fortunate to help them move into three different buildings. This location has about 200 Cat 6 cables and a dozen wifi access points. We installed an MDF and an IDF on another floor with OM3 fiber connecting the two suites. We also installed data drops behind the TVs and HDMI Cat 6 extensions to the conference tables to the TVs as well.

Denton, TX

August 18, 2023

This was a BYOD (Bring your own device) installation for us with Denton Calvary. The customer had approximately thirty Fortinet Wi-Fi access points that he needed cabled and installed. With the new fiber backbone across the campus, all the Wi-Fi can be linked back to the MDF at 1 Gig connections. This project was challenging because the customer wanted it installed before school started back which meant extremely hot attic spaces. The other challenge is that getting cable to the second floor of some buildings required installing conduit but other than that it went very well and the customer has had us come back on a few smaller projects.

Denton, TX

August 4, 2023

We installed over 1000 feet of armored and unarmored OM3 Fiber Optic Cable through hundreds of feet of EMT conduit, fully implementing a solution that seamlessly connected all five buildings of the Private School's campus. We also installed a new network cabinet that enabled the customer to secure their network equipment in a space that was only accessible to authorized personnel. The customer was pleased with our solution and we have since completed two more projects for Denton Calvary Academy.

Grapevine, TX

Our technicians ran 12 cables from an IDF cabinet to the area where the workstations will be. We also switched out some old IT equipment and replaced it with equipment provided by our customer.

McKinney, TX

May 27, 2023

Using materials supplied by the client, our technicians installed 10 network drops in the warehouse to each workstation. We also installed 7 APs in the warehouse and one in the office to ensure consistent coverage. Additionally, we installed a new network cabinet in the office. Our technicians completed this job on a Saturday to help the client minimize these upgrades’ impact on their productivity during business hours.

Their current technology was originally located on multiple different floors, but Politon helped to connect each of these locations for greater efficiency. Politon added two post data rack from the MDF to the cubicles located on the fifth floor, which took about 200 CAT-6 data drops. They then added multimodal fiber between the new data room with the new post rack and the MDF and proceeded to create a new IDF on a different floor to better feed connections to future users. Politon also assisted with cabling for security purposes by pulling cables from eight different access points and POE cameras around the suite in hopes of providing optimal assistance. By the end of the project, the insurance company was highly satisfied with the work done by Politon and were delighted to consider themselves a customer of their company.

Politon has been working with Pavlov fiber for a while, so when Redpoint apartments in Denton, TX decided to switch providers from Verizon to Pavlolv, we got called out. In order to switch the providers, an extensive amount of work must be done to cut the fiber off from Verizon to re-splice them to Pavlov fiber. It is crucial that this process be uninterrupted, so our team worked for more than twelve hours to complete the fusion-splicing in its entirety.

Fort Worth, TX

The main portion of this project was connecting the two office spaces through data cabling allowing for an extension of the network used. This was especially difficult because one office space was on the 6th floor and the other was on the 5th floor of the neighboring building. Proving to be an even harder challenge as the pipes between the building had been busted and required a bit of ingenuity to allow for proper functionality. Once we were able to move and connect the cabling to each building, it was discovered that inside the office space the old tenant had pulled the data cabling and rebuilt walls around them. In an effort to utilize the old cabling we had to dig out the old cabling and reconfigure them to the new floor plan. To allow for a more enjoyable work-life experience, we added new additions to the conference and training room. These included adding AV cables that connected the HDMI cables from the TVs to an HDMI plate below the TV, and a CAT-6 to HDMI extension data cable. This allowed employees easy access when connecting laptops to the screens during important presentations. We also revamped the entire data rack and installed all the data cabling for the wifi and installed wifi access points. With 140 total cables, our team was able to completely build an entirely new office space.

Crossroads, TX

July 22, 2022

We installed OM3 multi-mode fiber to two new cottages to bring internet connectivity as well as a connection to the networked fire panels. The customer was very pleased to add these two new buildings to their existing fiber ring around their campus. We essentially had to cut the existing ring and incorporate two new buildings into the ring by pulling fiber to them and back-feeding the connection from the far building to the return portion of the campus loop. All new fiber was certified and staged for their network administrator to come out and plug in his equipment.

Haslet, TX

July 14, 2021

We ended up installing (13) Wifi Access Points at this Haslet location as well as (40) Cat 6 data cables to pack outstations. We used 24" X 24" 1/2" plywood for the backboards and painted them fluorescent orange per the customers' request for the pendant-mounted access points. The customer let us install their new Cisco POE switches and installed the fiber SFP's. We found a spare pair of existing fiber back to the main data room for network connectivity. This customer is very happy with our work and has hired us for multiple projects.

McKinney, TX

The best solution for this customer was a 6 strand multi-mode armored fiber between the first floor and the fourth floor to join two businesses that recently merged. The armored wrap protects the fiber without having to install costly innerduct which is more expensive and a less efficient installation. The fiber was corning and the LC MM connectors and fiber tray were by Commscope. CommScope Quick II connectors are super easy to install and make for a more efficient installation. The customer also wanted us to install a Cat 6A connection between the upstairs suite and the downstairs riser closet.

Corinth, TX

July 8, 2021

This customer wanted a low-cost solution so they opted out of using patch panel and just wanted us to put male RJ-45 ends on the cable and plug them directly into their switch. At the end-user side, the builder used dual-gang boxes so we had to find a dual gang plate for one single data drop to make it look clean.

Flower Mound, TX

June 30, 2021

We installed a 6 strand multi-mode fiber optic cable and two Cat 6 cables between the first and second floor of the professional building attached to Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Flower Mound, TX. This job was pretty straightforward with no issues. We did have to penetrate some firewalls which we fire caulked upon completion. All cables were certified and the results have been emailed to our customer. Just in case your curious I have added a picture of what the fiber test results look like. The other test results picture is from our Fluke Tester for Cat 6 cabling.

Haslet, TX

We installed a solution we had not done before and it's working well. The customer asked us to install a point-to-point antenna inside a warehouse to extend a data circuit over 1000 feet. There was no reason it should have not worked but we had never installed a point-to-point inside before. To make the scenario even more interesting is that the customer put a privacy screen between their part of the warehouse and the other three-quarters of the warehouse which is where the far endpoint to point antenna is. This privacy screen is like a heavy rubberized tarp. The Ubiquiti PTP had no problem penetrating the screen from over 900 feet away. After the point-to-point was up we installed a network cabinet with some data cabling to a small office area and provided a Ubiquiti access point for local wifi as well. This customer was very pleased. On a sad note, our IT contact contracted Covid during our project and we never got to meet him.

This project was a bring your own hardware solution where Dominion Voting provided the security cameras and just needed a company to partner with to install the cable, conduit, and cameras. The only exciting part of this job was someone walking behind the building decided to look in the windows of our work truck while it was parked out back while one of our guys was on a ladder right in front of the truck. I guess the guy didn't bother looking up. The people at Dominion Voting were very nice and easy to work with. We hope the attention and the people they are attracting will fade away.

Coppell, TX

March 22, 2021

We ended up installing over 100 Cat 6 cables for Neurolens new Coppell, TX headquarters along with seven wifi access points and a single-mode fiber optic cable to their exterior demarc. One of the challenges to this project was this was an existing space that was subdivided into two suites so there was no conduit that ran from their new data room to the exterior demarc closet. We coordinated this two-inch exterior conduit to be run by an electrician for Neurolens. They have asked us back to do several more small projects since we have completed this job. Great company with a lot of great employees. We really like working here.

Irving, TX

February 24, 2021

We cabled the new lab for GreyStone Laboratories.  We pulled 13 cables and installed a Leviton Quick Disconnect 24 Port Patch Panel.  We also provided a 24 port Netgear POE switch. The customer was extremely happy with the final result.  This customer called us from the internet and needed a cabling vendor that could meet him when he flew in town from Florida.  We where happy to help at his new Irving, Tx location.

Fort Worth, TX

February 24, 2021

Our techs ran six Cat 6 network cables from the production area for several manager desks in a bull pen-type area back to the server room.  We provided surface mount  2 port Leviton boxes at each of the three desks.  The customer was happy with the completed work.  The only challenge was running the cable through the second floor down to the data room through a shaft in the men's bathroom through an access panel.  

Dallas, TX

February 5, 2021

We provided several solutions for Gold's Gym new corporate offices in Dallas, TX.  The main solution we provide was network cabling with over (130) Cat 6 wire runs.  The suite had an existing two-post rack and ladder rack connected to the wall.  We stripped everything off of it and supplied all-new patch panels and wire management.  We also need to move the rack two inches from the wall to allow our vertical wire manager covers to fasten correctly.  We also installed five flat-screen tvs with wall mount brackets.  Another solution was a bring your own hardware solution, we installed seven customer provided access points for wifi and we installed four customer provided switches into the rack and patched them all in.

Dallas, TX

February 3, 2021

This was a great project for us and had many different installation applications.  This Dallas data cabling job consisted of over 400 cables as well as a fiber optic demarc extension.  We installed six projectors, 6 pull-down screens, ten flat screen tv's with one being an 85" flat screen in the board room.  Some of the tv applications had Cat 6 to HDMI convertors as well as VGA extensions to the projectors.  This Reddy Ice Dallas headquarters had over 13 wifi access points installed around the office and in the boardrooms. Some of the challenges on this project was flex conduit under the slab that fed several cubicle farms had issues that we had to resolve to get our high count of cables into the cubes as well as some design changes that did not make it onto the floor plan version we were working off of. The customer moved over some existing cubicles from their old building which did not have the correct parts initially when installed so we had to wait until they came in for us to finish our part but we had plenty of AV work to do while we waited a few days to complete the baseboards. On another note, we found a new restaurant we ate at several times called Don Taco which is pretty good for street tacos, or a large bowl of Caldo de res which is essentially a beef stew with large chunks of vegetables.  Just wanted to share something in the area that we thought was noteworthy to those working around 635 and Preston road area.

Fort Worth, TX

December 17, 2020

This was a pretty typical warehouse fiber installation.  The only difficulty we had was that they did not want to use our originally proposed network cabinets but wanted to use a more subtle enclosure that you would not suspect network equipment was in it such as a NEMA type box.  We installed 12 strands of multi-mode fiber with LC connectors.  The solution we provided was end to end including the LC fiber patch cords that would be used to connect to their devices.  All cable tested and certified.

Dallas, TX

August 26, 2020

We installed approximately 450' of 6 strands multi-mode armored cable between there main data room and a smaller data closet across the building. The materials for this project were Corning 1U rack mount fiber trays, Corning 6 strand bulkheads with LC duplex connectors. This Dallas fiber optic installation project was installed with very few issues to overcome. All the strands were certified with an Owl Fiber Optic Certification tool which can upload all the test results for the customer's records. The customer was so pleased they are having us come out on another project to install all new cabling in there repair shop.
