The project was completed in a five-phase approach, including the Sprint E-Solutions Division. The U.S. Engineering team led the effort to integrate all equipment in all computer rooms into one control system, which contained logic to switch to backup control loops for ensured service 24/7, 365-days a year. Communications links with satellite facilities were also integrated into the central facility management system.
