FIBER FOR THE FUTURE

Over the years, fiber has become faster, easier to install, and more reliable than the traditional copper cable. Now, more than ever, growing technology relies on quick, highly reliable internet connections. Instead of being a nice-to-have, fiber is becoming an essential part of our lives.

DESIGNING THE FUTURE

COST DRIVERS

The estimates used for construction should reflect current market conditions and take into consideration the market conditions likely to exist one to three years in the future. During the time between completion of the study and potential construction of the utility, your community will examine many options concerning service offerings, potential public-private partnerships, financing, etc.

VINTON, IA

BERESFORD, SD

The City of Beresford (Beresford, SD) is ready to start the construction of a new Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to assist its Municipal Communications Utility in providing advanced services to its patrons.  Bids have been received and a spring, 2020 construction start is expected.

FARR Technologies has been involved in the initial project budget analysis, design process, plans and specifications, 3rd party negotiations, and will assist in the construction and contract management of the project.

NEW HAMPTON, IA

The City of New Hampton (New Hampton, Iowa) is ready to start the construction of a new Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network. The city has operated a municipal electric utility for many years, and will soon provide advanced telecommunications services through a municipal communications utility.  Bids have been received and a spring 2020 construction start is expected.

FARR Technologies has been instrumental in developing the feasibility study and business plan, as well as final the plans and specifications, 3rd party negotiations, and will assist in the construction and contract management of the project.

PELLA, IA

The City of Pella (Pella, Iowa) will begin work on a new Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to assist its Electric Utility and Municipal Communications Utility in providing advanced services to its patrons.

 

FARR Technologies was involved with initial planning and the development of a feasibility and business plan approved by the Municipal Board to assist with the build-out of the network. 

Dissatisfied with the bandwidth and reliability of their internet providers, community volunteers in Vinton began a campaign for voters to approve the establishment of a municipal communications utility. FARR Technologies was involved early in the process, meeting with the volunteers and a nearby ILEC that was considering a partnership.

Vinton, Pella, and Beresford have joined a growing list of communities building fiber-optic networks to serve their residents better. These communities and many others are leading the way to a brighter future.
