Overview
The Collection turned to their IT partner,
Techmedics, and Linksys for a networking
solution to provide reliable, secure, and quick
Internet access for tenants of a renovated
coworking/flex space, located on the ninth floor
of an office building.
Objectives
Design a networking solution to support
high-volume traffic produced by various
business clients working in a 7,500-square-foot
dedicated flex space located within a historic
95,000-square-foot building.
Approach
After assessment, The Collection installed
five Linksys 28-Port Managed Gigabit
PoE+ Switches to provide advanced traffic
management and eliminate bandwidth issues.
Additionally, the installation of nine Linksys
LAPAC2600 Dual-Band Access Points with
MU-MIMO provided enterprise-grade, secure
wireless coverage throughout the flex space,
allowing clientele to access the network from
multiple devices simultaneously and securely. In
the server room and throughout the space, over
200 feet of CAT-5 Ethernet cable ensured fast
and dependable Internet access.
Background
The Collection is a historic, renovated Art Deco office building in the
heart of downtown Los Angeles. Built in 1913, it served as LA’s first
indoor mall and the city’s first showroom, the Brack Shops. The building
was formally named The Collection in the mid-1900s, and sat largely
vacant between 1970 and 1990. Renewed interest in the space came in
2005, when downtown LA began revitalization efforts.
Today, The Collection is a bustling hub of activity, with creative tenants
throughout the building. A brand-new, custom-built, state-of-the-art, high-
tech coworking/flex space is located on the ninth floor.
The flex space at The Collection offers a unique opportunity for
businesses and professionals looking to capitalize on a premium location
without a long-term lease requirement. Totaling 7,500 square feet, the
flex space includes daily, weekly, and monthly rentals of private offices,
open area work desks, lounge areas, conference rooms, meeting
spaces, cafés, bars, and event/pop-up spaces.
