With the onset of the pandemic, Solotech\u2019s work became nearly impossible. We had to learn how to execute a multi-million-dollar project remotely. Solotech collaborated with the Hong Kong International Airport, its team of consultants and contractors, its vendors, and local installation labor to find technical solutions to move the project forward.\u00a0 We are very proud to have overcome these obstacles.
