Telecom

We design telecom systems that are reliable and built to support critical operations. Each year, we support 200+ network facilities across Power, Space, and Cooling (PSC) systems. Our team helps telecom providers maintain uptime, keeping people and systems connected and maximizing the value of their infrastructure investments.

Common Telecom Challenges We Solve For

 2026/06/Telecom-Challenges-01-1.png

High-density equipment in facilities built for lower-density cooling

Telecom facilities increasingly need to support higher-density relay racks and next-generation equipment that existing cooling systems were never designed to handle. We work closely with network planners and equipment manufacturers to understand current and future load requirements, helping clients determine whether new equipment can coexist within existing spaces or requires dedicated infrastructure. Based on those findings, we develop cooling strategies that support current operations and future growth.

Budget uncertainty and delays caused by unforeseen conditions

Telecom projects often involve aging infrastructure and operational constraints that can create costly surprises during construction. We use a telecom-specific Scope Development Checklist, built from decades of industry experience, to evaluate existing conditions early and define project requirements. From there, we develop a comprehensive budget that outlines anticipated costs, helping clients establish more accurate project costs and minimize schedule disruptions.

Maintaining reliable operations during construction and planned upgrades

Telecom environments must maintain specific temperature to ensure network reliability. We collaborate with contractors and facility operations teams to test temporary operating conditions before design is complete. By validating how existing systems will perform under temporary loads and construction scenarios, we identify the cooling and electrical infrastructure needed to maintain stable conditions throughout the project.

Frequently asked questions

How do we manage power and cooling loads during network transformation from copper to fiber?

We work closely with network planners, technicians, and facility operations teams to understand existing infrastructure and anticipated loads. By evaluating factors such as generator capacity and cooling performance, we ensure infrastructure is appropriately sized to support current and future business needs.

How does WB help clients get more power and cooling into an existing telecom facility while planning for future growth?

We coordinate with utilities, network planners, facility operators, and local authorities to determine the most effective path forward. Whether that involves additional utility service, cooling upgrades, new generators, or other infrastructure improvements, we help clients increase capacity reliably within existing facilities.

How can telecom providers maximize capacity in existing facilities without expanding their footprint?

We evaluate existing facilities and develop strategies to support additional power, cooling, and network equipment within the available footprint. With experience supporting projects in dense urban markets such as New York, Boston, and Washington, DC, we understand the local building codes and constraints that can impact growth. Our utility coordination team also works closely with utilities to gather data and plan for service upgrades early in the process, allowing clients to identify opportunities to increase capacity while making the most of their existing real estate.

How do we support transactions during the decommissioning of leased space?

We work with decommissioning project managers to document restoration requirements and ensure lease obligations are clearly defined. Our landlord review sets are designed to communicate project scope, so it’s easier for landlords and tenants to review proposed work and reach agreement on retained assets.

How does WB determine the right level of infrastructure investment for a telecom facility?

Not every telecom facility requires the same level of redundancy or infrastructure investment. We collaborate with project managers and standards teams to understand the criticality of each facility within a client’s portfolio and recommend solutions that align with operational requirements. This approach allows clients to prioritize investments where they deliver the greatest value.
