External Network Construction
Outside Plant (OSP) Services encompass the end-to-end design, engineering, and construction of all external network infrastructure that connects communities. This includes everything installed between a central office and the customer premises, ensuring robust connectivity across miles of varying terrain. Our engineering and design work is foundational, involving detailed fiber and copper network planning, precise route planning through field surveys, and critical make-ready engineering, including pole loading analysis.
We meticulously handle all necessary administrative burdens, including permitting, right-of-way acquisition, and utility coordination, simplifying complex projects for our clients. Our comprehensive OSP service includes both Aerial Construction, such as aerial strand and fiber installation, and essential pole transfers, and Underground Construction, utilizing advanced techniques like Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), trenching, and conduit installation.
Furthermore, we manage the critical technical processes of Splicing & Testing, performing fiber optic fusion splicing and OTDR testing to certify network performance. We ensure your external network is built to last, providing complete GIS mapping and as-built documentation for all infrastructure, guaranteeing accuracy and compliance for future maintenance and expansions.
