[ Overview ]

Project install included Radiating Coax, Fiber, Distributed Antenna System, and Wireless Infrastructure in the SFMTA tunnels to support a neutral host environment for all major cellular carriers. The total distance of underground work was just under 10 miles. Installation was performed in municipal tunnels on rail trucks in off hours to avoid disruption of weekday commuter service to 48,000 daily passengers, community street fairs, big sports events, and other street festivals.

[ Scope of Work ]

  • Radiating Coax & FiberRadiating coaxial cable feeders and fiber backbone deployed the full length of the tunnel system — mile after mile of confined-space pulls, terminations, and labeling underground.

  • Distributed Antenna SystemDAS infrastructure tuned for the tunnel’s RF environment — antenna placement engineered for handoff continuity and supporting a neutral-host headend serving every major US carrier.

  • Night SequencingEvery shift loaded onto rail trucks and worked the tunnels overnight — sequenced against street fairs, Giants games, Warriors games, and community festivals above ground. Commuter service was never interrupted.

  • Acceptance TestingCoverage walks with full-band testers, neutral-host onboarding for each carrier, and as-built records for the operator and the FCC filing.
