Project Opportunities
Opportunity DESCRIPTION
Increased Resiliency The project has identified and will be installing a secondary pathway to
each MDR from the MMR. This will provide data redundancy and resiliency
to the airport which is not currently available with the legacy connections.
Diversity of services and
providers
The MMR will have space for new service providers to access the airport.
These providers can bring additional and competing services into the
airport.
Synergies with the Utility
Master Plan and future
capacity
This project aligns with recommendations in the Utility Master Plan for
increased resiliency and capacity for future growth.
