Infrastructure Cabling
The core of our business has been infrastructure cabling. We have cabled hospitals, arenas, hockey rinks,
military bases, schools, retail stores, malls just to name a few.
Voice and Data Communications is the cornerstone of any business today, and is often designed as an
after-thought to the rest of your building. With the increasing demands for connectivity, throughput
and overall system performance ensuring that you have a quality product installed is just as important
as the services you provide to your customers. Un-necessary downtime due to incorrect cable installation
can cost a company thousands of dollars an hour in lost productivity. Using Data Technologies is an insurance
that you have BICSI and RCDD Certified installer. There are many different ways to install a voice
and data network, however with Data Technologies you can ensure that we will meet with you to understand
what your exact needs are and design the appropriate system. The key to this success is to ensure that
we get in on the ground floor of the building design so that we can ensure that appropriate
cable pathways are developed for your cabling needs.
Fiber Optics
Fiber optic communications is the backbone of any business today. Whether it is your utility company
bringing their signal into the DMarcation point of your building, or if your building is large enough tieing
your telecommunications rooms together.In this day and age of ever increasing requirements for data transmission,
ensuring that you have a quality product installed is just as important as the service you provide to your customers.
Data Technologies has over 20 years of experience installing single mode, multi-mode and laser
optimized multi-mode cable in a variety of settings. We fusion splice in underground vaults,
we have upgraded fiber backbones for telephone companies, we have fusion spliced pig-tails and connectors
to inside or outside plant cables to name just a few. We have a variety of ways that we can terminate fiber optic
cable to meet a wide variety of situations. We pre-test spools before they are ever
installed, we always test post installation and ensure that you are getting a quality product. We test by using
both an OTDR (Optical time-domain reflectometer) and Light Loss Meter to ensure that our installation meets or
exceeds industry standards.
We are the only installer in the Fargo/Moorhead area who is authorized to install Sumitomo's FutureFLEX ™ Airblown
fiber system. This system is different from a traditional fiber cable, in that a series of tubes are installed. The
tubes are connected boxes, which in turn are connected to your telecommunications racks. The tubes are manufacturered
into a cable, once installed and supported correctly the system allows us to 'blow' fiber optic cabling through the
tubes. This system of cabling can be installed within a building and between buildings just like standard fiber. The
way this system is designed, it allows for easier additions and upgrades to your backbone plant. While the upfront
costs are a little more than a traditional system, you'll see savings on future installations.
Security
Our primary focus when it comes to security is to provide the network cabling for IP based systems. We can offer you
a complete camera, NVR system through our partner VivoTek. They have a wide variety of solutions to cover your CCTV needs.
From traditional to IP based cameras, both indoor and ourdoor versions are available. Depending on your recording needs
they have several different NVR's from which to chose. Depending on which software versions you choose, you can even
remotely view your cameras over the internet by using their cloud application.
Audio/Visual
One of Data Technologies largest installations was the Fargo Dome's Concourse Television upgrade. The project installing
telecommunications cabling to all of the telvision locations on the concourse and adding the television locations to the
lavatories. We upgraded the distribution backbone to a singlemode fiber optic system, and we were responsible for
sourcing the video distribution vendor.
Your project doesn't have to be as large as the Fargo Dome for us to give you the same end to end service. Even if it is
only one television location we can find a solution that will suite your needs. Whether it be extending a coax cable for a
cable television connection, or an IP based smart board system. We have the tools and ability to install the system you need.
Outside Plant
Outside plant in relation to what work we perform, refers to all of the physical cabling and supporting infrastructure
(such as conduit, cabinets, tower or poles), and any associated hardware (such as repeaters) located between a
demarcation point in a and a intermediate point in another building on the customer premises. While we don't install
underground conduit or support poles, we do partner with other trades that can perform these tasks. Data Technologies will
install the cable and perform all terminations and testing for your outside plant backbone. We can splice both copper and
fiber optic cable.
Fargo Dome
We have worked at the Fargo Dome since our company first opened its doors in 1997. We have installed miles of fiber
optic cable, even more copper cabling. We were responsible for installing all of the network and fiber optic cabling
for the sound system upgrade in 2007. We installed a fiber backbone and television signal distribution system in 2015,
and installed all of the fiber for the new television camera, and A/V system upgrade that was conducted at the same time
as the large DakTronics screen upgrade. We installed all of the cabling for the new video walls and fiber distribution
system. We installed all of the fiber backbone and coax for the Verizon Wireless Cell Phone DAS Upgrade in 2014. Our
most recent project was to upgrade their networking backbone from multimode fiber to single mode fiber. We installed the
Sumitomo FutureFLEX ™ system to house the backbone cabling.
Data Center
We installed the server cabinets, the overhead cable and fiber tray. Helped design the hot isle, cold isle
and fiber distribution system.
West Fargo Public Schools
We recently built West Fargo's newest building North Side Elementary School, directly across the street from Blue Cross
Blue Shield of North Dakota. We also helped to recently construct the new West Fargo Central Kitchen.
Fargo City Hall
We had the low number on the original bid for this project, but due to cost over-runs it went back to the drawing board. We
were successful in the second bidding process, and ultimately installed General Cable Category 6 Augmented solution
with Panduit connectivity. We also were responsible for connecting the new City Hall to the City of Fargo fiber
network, and rerouted the fiber optic cable to the police station.
Dorothy Dodds Elementary
Dorothy Dodds Elementary was a Category 6 project that was completed in the fall of 2017. We also installed a coax hardline
and splitter system for a customer installed DAS system.
State of North Dakota
ABT Data Technologies is one of the two approved contractors for the Wiring and Placement Services contract for the State of
North Dakota. We have been a holder of this contract since (need a year). Below are listed just a few of our biggest projects for the
State.
Department of Corrections Administrative Building
The addition of the new administrative building at the NDDOCR was quite a challenge in that not only were we responsible for
the internal data cabling of the facility, but we had to rework all of the campus backbone data and fiber optic cabling for
the facility. Older buildings which have since been removed housed the telephone system for the prison and other surrounding
departments such as the State Lab and Rough Rider Industries. We had to remove and splice 600 pairs of OSP copper cabling in
about 48 hours to make the transition from old to new happen.
Department of Corrections Inmate Housing
The inmate housing portion of the expansion was a Category 6 installation with fiber optic and copper backbone routed to their
main distribution room.
Information Technology Department
This was a Category 6 installation, with some locations requiring Category 6 Augmented cabling. Included in the new
installation was tying the telecommunications closets together with fiber optic and copper cabling.
Governor's Residence
The Governor's Residence was a different job in that we were responsible for all low voltage cabling for not just the
voice and data systems, but security, cameras, audio visual to name a few. We had to remove copper cabling from the
existing residence, and install a new fiber optic cable to the capital building.
Heritage Center
This project was bid to the public, however we were successful in obtaining the bid for the low voltage. Included in this
project as the development of an additional closet due to some cables being longer than the recommended industry length.
We had to tie all of the new telecommunications rooms into the existing rooms, as well as design the layout for the
individual telecommunications rooms.
Bank of North Dakota
The Bank of North Dakota was one of our first jobs for the State.
Various other projects
Below are some of the various other projects that we've constructed.
Grand Forks Airport
We constructed the new terminal building for the Grand Forks Airport. This included installing over a mile of fiber optic
cable from their original facility building to the new building.
Building 375
This project was unique in that instead of a majority of the cabling being copper, it was in fact fiber optic cabling installed
to hundreds of outlets within the facility.
West Acres Mall Offices
When the West Acres Mall Offices moved from their basement location to the south end of the building we were crucial to their
efforts. We wired all of their new offices, as well as had to rework all of the fiber optic cabling within the building. We've
also performed various adds and changes to the building, to include the wireless access point installation and upgrades. We
installed the cabling for the new Guest Services counter located near the main doors on the north side of the building. We had
to tie this location into the existing fiber distribution system.
Sanford Health Athletic Complex
The Sanford Health Athletic Complex or SHAC as it is now known used to be called Bison Sports Arena or BSA. This project more
than doubled the size of the original building, and was a complete gut and remodel of the existing structure. This project required
us to complete work all of the incoming plant fiber optic and copper cabling. We installed Category 6 Augmented cabling to individual
networking outlets. We also installed all of the fiber backbone, and additionally fiber optic cabling to floor box outlets within
the arena. We assisted in installation of all of the door security cabling.
Jamestown Medical Center
The Jamestown Regional Medical Center was approximately 2000 Category 6 cables throughout the facility. We also became responsible
for the installation of all of the audio/visual cabling within the facility.
Forum Communications Printing
We performed the original infrastructure installation on this building in 2004. We have continued to service the facility as their
needs have grown for more machinery, or upgraded machinery.
