Residential Fiber

Residential fiber continues to expand at a manageable pace. While new residential installs will slow down as much of the city is built out, there are plenty of potential customers that have access to fiber, but are currently non active. Marketing to these customers will begin after additional projects wrap up and our team has additional time.

Business Fiber

Most businesses that were part of the 2017 fiber to the business project have been completed, the remainder require additional tools, or special equipment/replacement of brownfield infrastructure . Expansion of the business fiber network will occur as new businesses continue to develop along the Sandy industrial park, and Champion Way. The aging wireless network continues to shrink as existing access points are turned off and removed from the network.

New Developments

Multiple apartment complexes have expressed interest in SandyNet being able to provide service to various complexes within Sandy. Older apartment buildings utilize a technology called G.Fast to use existing copper twisted pair to deliver up to Gigabit speeds.

A wholesale agreement with a new apartment complex has been signed, which allows SandyNet to mount and manage modems in every unit at the complex. The expected turn up date is expected to occur near the beginning of August.

We are exploring a few dark fiber contracts with various companies to provide connectivity across town. These contracts are in the preliminary stage and are currently pending.

Administration

Steven Meager has joined our team for the next five months has he gains work experience in the IT field, while he studies for his degree at MHCC. Steven is working on creating a formal IT security policy, and acceptable use policy for the employee handbook.

Internal IT

Jeff Loder has been working on putting together a plan for our new virtual environment, and exploring the new options that exist. A move from a traditional server infrastructure to a hyperconverged set up looks promising, especially in the day and age of containers, where we can run services without an operating system.
