We help local exchange carriers (LECs), both incumbent and competitive, design new networks and upgrade existing networks. We understand our clients’ needs, and our teams have extensive experience delivering solutions to meet them.

Network planning - We conduct grant research and assist clients with application submittals. Our team gathers geographic information systems (GIS) data and other critical front-end and demographic information to support informed decision-making. We help shape deployment strategies by analyzing key metrics. We also evaluate utility coordination needs, permitting requirements, and environmental considerations early in the process to reduce risk and streamline future phases. Our high-level designs uncover optimal network routing options, rock risk, and permitting complexity. This approach leads to accurate cost estimates for future deployment.

Fiber infrastructure - We support the full life cycle of fiber deployment from initial high-level design to final construction documents. Our team works with any network architecture to verify the project delivers on performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.

Fiber Infrastructure

In addition to last-mile solutions like fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), we help clients plan and design middle-mile and long-haul fiber routes to connect communities, regional hubs, and enterprise networks. We provide construction oversight and fiber optic testing to verify quality, compliance, and long-term network reliability.

Wireless

We design and deploy wireless solutions, including wireless internet service provider (WISP) networks, to help clients reach unserved and underserved communities. Our team assesses state and federal programs that support broadband expansion, helping you deliver high-speed connectivity.

Aerial/joint-use

We provide turnkey solutions for building networks on aerial poles. Our capabilities include pole data collection, pole loading analysis (PLA), make-ready engineering, and close coordination with utilities to streamline deployment.
