Infrastructure Management

One Solution

It is common for several telecommunications vendors to seek access to a single office building. Having one infrastructure and riser management company ensures an organized, clean, and properly wired and labeled telecommunications system. It also provides tenants with products not normally available in a multiple telecom provider environment.

This fact benefits developers and property managers in a couple of ways. It provides the opportunity for revenue sharing and facilitates a competitive advantage to developers and property managers over other developments by providing tenants with a fiber-based future-ready digital infrastructure that allows for a variety of voice products, affordable Internet bandwidth, and TV upgrades.

Improvements

FirstDigital, with the approval of the developer, will:

• Install a fiber-based redundant infrastructure. Due to its fiber-based nature, the network is future-ready (unlimited bandwidth and services) and upgradeable. The network infrastructure allows for state-of-the-art products and services including IP, ATM, TDM, SIP, MPLS and Private Managed Network.
• Design and engineer a Communications Distribution System (Telecommunications Riser) tailored to tenant needs throughout the building.
• Maintain and manage the telecommunications infrastructure throughout the development.
• At tenants’ request, extend fiber to the tenant space for their secure use.
• Manage the way in which other telecom providers interface with the development.
