Red Bull Arena gets pre-construction Network Design from Advanced Networks
January 01, 2010
Advanced Networks is providing design and preconstruction services to implement the internal network and WIFI for the Red Bull Arena, home to the Major League Soccer team Red Bull New York. 
The Red Bull Arena consists of a 25,000 seat, 380,000 SF soccer stadium and surrounding site improvements. The stadium is located on approximately 12.5 acres in an industrial area, in close proximity to the Passaic River. This area is currently under redevelopment by the Harrison Redevelopment Agency.
Seating areas are divided into two areas: a precast concrete stadia lower bowl and an aluminum stadia upper bowl. There are also thirty (30) custom suites located in the Club Building. it will be completed in January 2010. From then until opening day for the 2010 season on March 21, the stadium will undergo testing and final preparation.
Owner Red Bull says that after playing in Giants Stadium since the team’s inception in 1996, the Red Bulls’ new stadium will be geared toward soccer fans. “The Red Bulls have been playing their game for the past several years in the old Giants stadium, and with the Giants’ new stadium, the Red Bulls decided to go off on their own,” Hunter Roberts Senior Project Manager Michael Parnell says. “They’ve really built what we think is the premier soccer stadium in the country. They really put a lot into this, and it’s coming out beautifully.”
One of the most fan-friendly features at Red Bull Arena is its state-of-the-art roofing system, which covers all stadium seating but leaves the field open to the elements. Made by Birdair, the system is a translucent PTFE fabric structure similar to the roofs at Cowboys Stadium and the Houston Texans’ Reliant Stadium.
“The roof cantilevers out from the outside 120 feet to cover all seats while keeping the field open to sunlight and rain,” Parnell explains. “The fabric is stretched between each truss and anchored, and the leading 60 feet from the tip of the truss back is a semi-translucent material that allows natural sunlight through to feed the natural grass below. Major League Soccer plays rain or shine, so all spectators will be relatively comfortable, even though the game will be played in the rain.”
Revolutionizing Network Management with 24 x 7 Monitoring
Jul 01, 2010
As technology continues to evolve and become more essential to business operations, companies are becoming heavily reliant on their servers and networks to keeps their business functioning properly.
The need for whole departments dedicated to managing technology can be overwhelming and costly, but Advanced Networks is changing all that by watching several companies' networks full time. New technology makes it possible to monitor servers and networks all over the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Advanced Networks president, Peter Mogollon, says that his company is capable of monitoring other companies' networks all over the world. "It's too costly for many businesses to have their own staff watching their networks and resolving any issues that arise, because those staff members don't directly contribute to the profitability of the business," says Peter. "What Advanced Networks does is provide that service at a fraction of the cost. We utilize remote monitoring technology that allows us to notify our clients instantly of any problems with their networks or servers."
This kind of technology provides around-the-clock support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week-- something most businesses couldn't afford if they had to handle it themselves. Fortunately, Advanced Networks is able to do it better, faster, and cost-effectively.
In addition to 24 x 7 Network Monitoring, Advanced Networks also offers monthly IT support to companies who wish to supplement their IT department or outsource it all.
NY Jets training camp construction gets IT support from Advanced Networks
Jun 01, 2007
Advanced Networks is providing network support and infrastructure to Hunter Roberts Construction Group as they oversee construction on the new training facility for the New York Jets.
Scheduled for completion in June of 2008, the new 26-acre site will house not only the training facilities, but also the corporate headquarters for the NFL franchise. Hunter Roberts has tapped Advanced Networks to provide them with the technology, connectivity, and support to manage both the preconstruction and construction phases of the project.
"Hunter Roberts is growing fast," comments Peter Mogollon, CEO of Advanced Networks, "and they need a technology infrastructure that is scalable so that it can grow with them." Advanced Networks manages all of the IT requirements not only for HRCG's role in the construction of the new Jets facility, but for the entire company nationwide.
Advanced Networks has branch offices in all of the cities where Hunter Roberts operates, allowing their engineers to address all IT concerns in person when necessary. Fortunately, because Advanced Networks utilizes the latest technology to monitor the Hunter Roberts networks and servers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, virtually no issue goes unnoticed or unresolved.
"The new Jets facility is just one of many projects Hunter Roberts is working on," says Mogollon. "It's far more efficient for them to outsource their IT support to us, than to try to handle it all in-house. This way they can focus on their core business, and Advanced Networks handles the rest."
