Really nice prison... Is it the place Ken is thinking of? Always good to have engineering and admin in the same place.

In other words, new AT&T, not old AT&T. I think I’ve been in the building once or twice, probably in the late 1990’s when I worked at Westell and the building was new. I was on the DSL standards subcommittee and Tom Starr of Ameritech was the chairperson, so likely I was meeting with him. I remember it as the somewhat weird building with the catwalks. Kind of like a really nice prison.

It mentioned that this will allow them to have both Corporate and Engineering at the same site. Hope we get some tours of their new space once it's up and running. Excerpt below from https://www.dailyherald.com/20240128/business/a-game-changer-bell-works-chicagoland-in-hoffman-estates-ready-to-add-homes/ (Possibly Paywalled) "wireless infrastructure provider Cambium Networks moving its U.S. headquarters from Rolling Meadows to Bell Works. The Motorola spinoff’s 35,000 square feet currently under renovation was not only the largest new lease of 2023 at Bell Works but takes advantage of a novel opportunity to have its corporate offices and engineering labs on the same property. “Here we’ve married the two,” Zucker said. “They’ve brought both of their uses together. The village modified the zoning here to accommodate that.” The company’s research and development will be conducted in newly equipped space on the first floor, with its offices and conference rooms on the fourth. Cambium Networks Senior Engineer Evan Boyack said there are few facilities that could offer the combination of space. The international company has a desire to stay in Chicago’s Northwest suburbs because it remains the base of the talent pool Motorola attracted there. Amenities such as the Fairgrounds World’s Fair restaurant and bar were another attraction of Bell Works, he added. “Having these amenities helps bring our engineers back to the office,” Boyack said." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
