a2b will, for example, design the fiber build to meet timeline and cost considerations, then manage the tendering process, obtain permits, manage the project, document the as-constructed characteristics (such as cable meter marks or OTDR readings), and make sure that the end result is correctly arranged to fit into the client’s fiber management system or GIS.
Participatory Network Builds
a2b will gather route and fiber requirements from multiple clients (see MAPS) so that the construction and operating costs can be reduced for each participant.
