Vision was honored with a Platinum level award, the program’s highest honors. Vision Technologies designed, installed, and commissioned a unified Wi-Fi and PON system for The Wharf, a mile-long, 24-acre, $2.2 billion mixed-use development along the Potomac River in Washington, DC. The system provides state-of-the-art, pervasive 802.11ac wireless services to residents, workers and guests traversing the outdoor, garage, and 6,000-person indoor-convert-venue areas.
