A Crazy Idea for Improving the Contractor Experience
We founded Fiber River, LLC with the goal of radically altering the way contractor resources are managed. Fiber River is a nationwide core group of engineering, construction, maintenance, and project management firms that provide network operators with infrastructure professional services. In addition, we've added another arrow to our services quiver, based on our recent experience in Ashburn, VA delivering data center Phy Layer services to numerous clients and creating a CLEC. We have extensive experience in the Data Center vertical.
A Greek and a Frenchman
It was Plato who famously said "our need will be the true Creator," which later became the English proverb "Necessity is the mother of invention," and Victor Hugo who coined the statement "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come."
Necessity and Our Time
There is a key necessity to meet the demand for fiber network construction and improvement in light of the government approved $65 billion investment in broadband infrastructure. Our company has developed at a breakneck pace since its inception and today represents multiple clients servicing 35 states with Infrastructure Engineering, Construction, Maintenance, Project Management, Data Center Services and EV Charging Station site construction. Our time has come.
Network Operators
For operators, fiber networks can be "living" structures that require ongoing provisioning and rearrangement; nevertheless, the installation of new network infrastructure occurs only once every few years, if not decades. The $65 billion infrastructure expansion into underserved and non-served areas is yet another layer of development. Because it makes little sense for a telecommunications operator to retain workers to upgrade and build network infrastructure, these projects are typically completed by contractors. We have an unrivaled direct connection with Network Operators. After 25 years in the same industry, it's impossible not to form lifelong bonds. These relationships are without a doubt one of the best aspects of working in our field.
Contractors
Over the years we have witnessed four keys areas where contractors run into trouble.
- Project Timeline Deliverables
- Invoicing with Accurate Documentation
- As Build Information Reporting
- Staff Training
We assist contactors in these areas along with the front end services of New Business Development and Marketing to Network Operators. We have a well-rounded understanding of contractor services and network operator demands because we have sat on both sides of that desk.
To Sum Up
Whether you are an Network Operator seeking professional infrastructure services to build your network or a Contractor looking to aggressively pursue New Business Development and improve your back office services, Fiber River can assist you.
