Mar 4, 2024 Jackie DohertyBy Kristen Beckman In my nine years of working in telecom, I have managed projects for various carriers and tower companies ranging from in-building/DAS/Venue deployments to 5G upgrade modifications for rooftops, towers, and water tanks. During that time, I have helped clients deploy new site build and upgrade projects for many critical events including mall DAS deployments for Black-Friday deadlines, national mall/inauguration special project/temp-deployments, a rip-and-replace 5G capable DAS for MLB All-Star game, and multiple time sensitive 5G upgrades to meet carrier deadlines. Whether it’s providing coverage to a hospital or stadium, hitting client goals of 600+ sites on-air in 6-months, or negotiating with historically temperamental landlords, I have enjoyed helping clients reach their goals. I thrive in fast paced and high-pressure environments, so these past nine years have been both challenging and rewarding. One of my favorite parts of working in the wireless infrastructure industry is being able to work cross functionally with subject matter experts ranging from engineering, leasing, land use, regulatory, and construction – there is never a dull moment!
