The Opus Group, a $1.4 billion real estate development company, quietly has been changing the face of communities across the nation for more than 50 years. In late 2004, executives determined the acquisition of additional office space in the campus park would allow Opus to better accommodate a rapidly expanding employee base that consisted of 350 people on three floors. Opus' IT department was then tasked with finding a building-to-building connectivity solution that would enable the engineers to seamlessly access the corporate network as well as their business-critical Computer-Aided Design (CAD). LightPointe's FlightStrata G enabled Opus to extend its corporate network economically, leaving enough room in the budget for the company to create redundancy through the purchase of a secondary RF link.
