Passive Optical Network (PON) Digital Infrastructure Powers 800 West Fulton Vision to Become the Smartest Building in Chicago
Thor Equities Group invests in innovative businesses globally and owns properties in key urban markets throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, and Latin America. After acquiring their newest project in Chicago at 800 West Fulton Market, Thor Equities sought out a technology partner to lay the digital foundation for the building while it was in its early stages of construction. Andorix was chosen to build an in-building network infrastructure using Passive Optical Network (PON) technology that meets the building’s energy efficiency and sustainability goals and achieve their vision of delivering the highest levels of wellness, connectivity, and building intelligence.
