FTI is based in Alaska, so we know more about remote facilities in extreme conditions than any other engineering team on the planet. We have had to address sites so remote that it can take a week to get to the site and once there you can be weathered in for weeks before you can leave. Our engineers have had to factor in earthquakes, volcanos, 100 mph horizontal freezing rain,and temperatures so cold chips pop off PC boards. Remote areas may encompass relative humidity that comes standard at 3%, floods on huge scales, season temperature changes in excess of 140 F°.
These environments not only breed good engineers it demands them.
FTI's engineers have tackled projects ranging from voice and video vsat systems for oil companies in the Venezuelan jungles- to telephone and data systems (including broadband) on Little Diomede island (located in the Bering straits between Alaska and Russia). From The north slope of Alaska to Europe, Africa, South America and of course the urban jungles of the United States - we have done it and understand the complex issues of deploying communications and data systems in extreme environments.
