Services

Telecom Network Consultants provides Consulting and Engineering Services to assist your firm in building out the Next Generation Broadband Services via Fiber Optics, Microwave, and 5G Wireless State of the Art Technologies. Our expertise is derived from individuals with over 30 plus years in the Telecommunications and IT Industry.  We focus on the developing and upgrading your Telecom Infrastructure within your budget requirements.      

 

Fiber Optic cable systems, Engineering and planning

We have extensive knowledge in the design and construction of carrier and transmission grade outside plant fiber optic cable systems.  Our expertise includes; OPGW installations on 500 and 230KV transmission lines to Self-supporting dielectric cable underbuilt on lower voltage transmission lines or traditional lashed cable on distribution poles and underground conduits and cable systems.  Although we do not provide construction services and are not structural engineers, we have contacts for such resources and can evaluate and manage projects from initial design to construction.

 

Telecommunications Network Design and Engineering

  1. Develop RFPs for new telecom equipment deployments, including identifying the client needs, developing specifications, qualifying vendors, analyzing proposals both from a technical and commercial standpoint and making the appropriate recommendations.
  2. Engineer and implement Dense and/or Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing technologies as needed for managing traffic.
  3.  Engineer and implement Single and multi-tiered Carrier Ethernet networks.
  4. Optical network design for system protection with various ring protection schemes for data reliability.
  5. Clock Synchronization designs: Time synchronization is critical in a telecommunication network to facilitate consistent performance and reliability.   Precisely timing the entire network, as well a synchronizing with major carriers, is critical to reliable operations and end-user Quality Of Service, especially during partial outages.

 

GIS based network asset management

GIS based asset tracking and circuit management is critical.  We have relationships with top software providers and have the knowledge of these systems and the industry to get your system up and running quickly.  GIS asset management systems provide a geographical representation of your telecom network from terminal to terminal, provides an active inventory of your assets and the state of these assets.  Usually these programs employ a work order module and costing functions to accurately mange build costs and cost of service.

 

Wireless Networks and RF Systems

We have many years experience in the Design and Engineering of specialized Radio Systems for the Electric Utility space.  Digital Microwave, Ethernet radios, 900 MHz radios and Ethernet Microwave Radio designs with deployment strategies, including hybrid networks with fiber and Wireless in the mix

We are well versed in providing Microwave path Studies,  Designs, for both new equipment and upgrades.  We can also provide resources for Coordinating Path Studies, Frequency Plans and Tower Analysis.

Communications Towers

Communications towers can be a nightmare.  We can provide recourses to help.  We have managed and built many towers and know how to work through the process from use and permit requirements  to construction.  We can work with carriers and owners to coordinate antenna tower leases and proper antenna spacing for Microwave Dish and Cellular Antennas.

Tower maintenance and upkeeps are major concerns. We can coordinate tower structural analysis for maintenance or new antenna additions or general modifications and  tower Inspections to verify compliance to local jurisdiction and FAA requirements

As with the above services, we can create and manage RFP’s for all RF designs, new construction and modifications.

 

Feasibility Studies and Project Management.

Our extensive experience in almost all areas of telecommunications gives us a unique ability to work with any level of management from C level to operations personnel.  We can provide feasibility studies for any project you are contemplating. Are you contemplating moving into Rural Broadband Service delivery?  We can provide the Geo-data and analysis to indicate if such a project is feasible.   Looking to upgrade your backbone data transport network?  We can provide vendor information and alternatives with cost and decision analysis.

From a quick desktop analysis to detailed field studies, we can develop a technical and financial plan including estimated build costs, path studies, recurring operational costs and potential ROI calculations. We work in close coordination with the client’s engineering and operations personnel, outside vendors and governmental entities to provide complete project information.  In addition, the team will be available to work through the approval process with client’s executive or management team.

Project Management is a mainstay in the consulting world.  Having managed many large and complex projects throughout our experience with Electric Utilities and Carriers, We are confident that we can provide best in class services to our clients.  An independent project management team can be vital to the success of any project.  We work for our clients, help arbitrate between clients and contractors and always have our clients’ interests first.
