Training is available for every fiber project we take on -- from how-to briefings on dark fiber marketing to pre-construction meetings for your line crews or installation contractors.

Separate from our fiber project work, we also offer a range of stand-alone educational programs such as:

•  Introduction to Basic Fiber Optic Principles

•  Design and Installation of Utility Fiber Optic Cable Systems

•  Basic Fiber Cable Designs and What's Available in the Market

•  Designing Fiber Cable Installations on High Voltage Lines

•  Using PLS-CADD in Designing Utility Fiber Networks

•  Dark Fiber Marketing

•  Fiber Optic Testing including hands-on OTDR Training

These courses are offered on a custom basis for individual customers and also in conjunction with utility associations such as the Tennessee Valley Public Power Association (TVPPA) and CARILEC. (For additional utility associations we've worked with, refer to our 1993 - 2002 client list.)

Course material can be oriented to all levels from utility board members to linemen.

Fiber Planners personnel are also available to speak at industry gatherings and meetings on a range of technical and business topics relating to utilities and fiber optics.
