The Need
Shop operators in an iconic NYC transportation hub were looking for modern connectivity to operate their business. Given the historic nature of the building, this presented significant challenges — from strict preservation regulations to prohibitive renovation costs.
NuVisions used the Positron Access Gigabit Any Media (GAM) and successfully deployed a high-speed broadband solution by leveraging existing infrastructure.
The Challenge
Built in the early 20th century, the venue spans nearly 50 acres and serves as a central point of transit and commerce, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors daily.
Fast-forwarding to the 21st century, NuVision turned to the GAM to upgrade connectivity in this environment despite multiple constraints:
- Strict landmark regulations preventing structural modifications.
- Legacy Category 3 cabling, originally deployed for telephony.
- High operational demands requiring minimal disruption and rapid deployment.
Traditional infrastructure upgrades such as Structured Cabling or Fiber were not a viable option due to cost, regulatory limitations, and operational impact.
The Solution
NuVisions Expertise, with support from Positron, deployed the GAM to deliver a high-speed connectivity service over the existing Category 3 twisted pair infrastructure.
The Results
The Results
Shop operators within the venue now benefit from:
- 100-fold speed increases: from sub-5 Mbps to 500+ Mbps
- 100% reduction in connectivity-related issues reported
And NuVisions achieved a positive Return on Investment (ROI) well under 12 months.
In a high-traffic retail environment, unreliable connectivity had previously impacted customer transactions. Businesses are now able to process payments efficiently and support daily operations without interruption — even in a location serving up to 750,000 visitors per day.
