Staples Center Fiber Backbone Installation
The Challenge
Staples Center needed a high-capacity fiber optic backbone to support multiple simultaneous events, broadcast operations, point-of-sale systems, security cameras, and guest WiFi—all while maintaining operations during the NBA, NHL, and concert season.
Our Solution
We designed a star topology fiber backbone connecting 28 network closets throughout the venue to redundant core switches. Using OM4 multimode and OS2 single-mode fiber, we created diverse pathways for resilience. All installation work was performed during overnight windows between events, with pre-staged materials and detailed installation schedules.
