So the 15th Anniversary of 9/11 hit me hard this year. I was 24 at the time it happened, and was somewhat immature to all of the events and more recently as a full adult, I've finally been able to watch videos and documentaries about the towers without being extremely horrified or sick to my stomach. I've read countless articles etc as well, and I've noticed the whole place was Meridian 1. I believe the Marriott Hotel, the Port Authority, and many of the businesses in the tower were all Nortel Meridian 1. The entire buildings communication system for the Police, Lobby phones, etc. were all Nortel M2000 series sets.
Is there anyone here that worked on the systems in the World Trade Center, particularly the main system for the buildings? Which Nortel system was it? Was it an SL-100 with Digital sets tied in? Was it a pure Meridian 1? I would love to hear a little about the history of when the Port Authority switched the World Trade Center over from 1A2 to all Nortel. It must have been sometime around 1990.
I also recall that Nortel had a HUGE presence in cleaning up the WTC site communications and installing new infrastructure for the days after 9/11.
It's sad to see it's all gone, but it must have been quite an impressive Nortel system during it's heyday.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe
