The Tucson Convention Center Complex, underwent a significant technology upgrade to enhance user experience and attract new clients. Our team thoroughly evaluated the existing technology, which was last updated in 1990, and developed innovative recommendations to position the center as a prime choice for mid-sized conventions. We created various options with detailed pros, cons, and cost estimates to guide the project. By issuing a Request for Information (RFI), we identified potential partners, successfully assisting in evaluating and selecting technology providers. We designed a fiber backbone and oversaw the implementation of advanced technology and communication systems, including audiovisual, voice and data networks, wired and wireless networks, 5G, private LTE, WIFI, CBRS, specialized CC apps, smart building design, mobile connectivity, and a distributed antenna system. Our comprehensive project oversight was key in promoting seamless integration, ultimately transforming the venue into a modern facility equipped for a diverse range of events.
