ENGINEERING
Phase two: Designing a fiber network requires collecting data from a variety of sources to produce a high-quality and accurate design.
Design stage one (high level)
Design stage one (high level) creates a working outline of your fiber network.
-
Assess rights of way and easements for usability.
-
Leverage imagery, property records and street-level data to outline and size the main routes and identify hub locations.
-
Generate initial bill of materials specifications and field collection maps.
Field collection
Field collection establishes a design's feasibility and is crucial when it comes time to evaluate ground truth.
-
Assess and compare the virtual design to the ground truth requirements like roads, rocks, trees and water.
-
Execute field collection and staking.
-
Conduct Pole Loading Analysis.
Design stage two
Design stage two: The final design stage (low level) incorporates necessary revisions from field collection. Least-cost routing ensures the most affordable path is taken during construction.
-
Verify the design follows the path of leas cost and provides a high level of serviceability while supporting growth and expansion.
-
Expand the design to include connectivity from the premises to the headend.
-
Secure permitting and pole attachment.
