Our engineers specialize in developing comprehensive
network designs for communications providers, including Rural Utilities
Service (formerly REA), CLECs (competitive local exchange carriers), and
private networks. We draw from our expertise to develop a practical cost
effective network design for you. By analyzing how each factor of the
project affects the larger network perspective, our experienced
engineers integrate your network elements from the central office to the
customer.
