Fiber Network
We have successfully caught up with the demand for service on existing residential homes. We currently have service requests pending for three homes that are less than a week old, the plan is to stay caught up on these requests as they come in allowing us to get any new service requests fulfilled within 2 to 3 weeks depending on construction difficulty.
This does not mean we are sitting around on our hands however. We have several neighborhoods with new homes being built that require installation of fiber and in some cases a pretty significant amount of construction activity as well. We anticipate these projects keeping us very busy for the next several months.
MDU Deployment
We have completed several G.Fast installs in the Cascade Crest apartment complex and have our backend systems ready to move ahead full speed on this. We will be proceeding on these deployments and exploring opportunities with other apartment complexes around Sandy as time permits.
Bluff Road Utility Move
Due to the widening project at Bluff road several SandyNet terminals and vaults need to be relocated. This project has set us back schedule wise and quickly become more complex than originally anticipated. Due to some limitations with our ability to move current infrastructure we are resorting to setting some heavy traffic rated vaults over existing vaults in what will be the new roadway. SandyNet staff does not have the equipment required to safely install this type of vault so we are seeing quotes from contractors to perform this work.
Urban Renewal District
Conduit construction and restoration are complete for this project. We still need to place fiber and splice the entire commercial area before we can begin installing businesses. Originally our plan was to perform this work internally with SandyNet staff but due to the demands being placed on the team by other projects we are looking into bringing a contractor in to perform this work.
