No other independent consultant has designed so many fiber networks for so many different power utilities.

For almost a decade, Fiber Planners has been a one-stop outside plant technical resource for utilities building fiber networks. Our North American client base of over 60 utilities ranges from the largest investor-owned utilities to small municipalities with less than 5,000 customers.

We typically provide a turnkey design including initial cost estimate, route selection, pole-by-pole design, make-ready lists, bid packages and evaluations, installation instructions, training for both installers and utility personnel and installation supervision.

For other utilities, we may provide only some of these services, filling in the gaps in their skills or staffing.

We also provide a range of specialized technical services such as fiber training for industry groups (such as TVPPA), failure analysis of existing fiber networks and electric field studies of high voltage ADSS fiber cable installations.

  • Are you considering fiber and want to learn more?

  • Are you involved with the process and overwhelmed by the alternatives and decision points?

  • Do you need assistance with writing a cable and installation specification?

  • Have suppliers provided incomplete or confusing bid response packages?

  • Is your telecommunications department overworked or new to fiber optics?

  • Does your management need a nudge toward the future of fiber?

  • Are you curious if there is someone interested in sharing your fiber route and cost?

  • Do you need assistance introducing other departments to the technology?

  • Does the installation look like a logistics nightmare?

  • Can your telecommunications or maintenance department handle the splicing?

  • Will your documentation be "up to snuff" if there's a fiber failure?

  • Do you need an emergency restoration program developed?

  • Would you like an objective opinion to assist with project justification?

These are all questions that Fiber Planners can answer.

Just give us a call and relax.
