Shared Fiber Riser Solutions
Gigsouth is an all in one solution. We engineer solutions, install low voltage, and are your service provider. We are able to identify and fix huge problems with congestion for MDU developments. IDFs on each floor are packed, messy, and now require more space. More space means more cost. Above ceilings in corridors/hallways are packed with bundles of micro-duct running in all directions from multiple providers trying to pack their fiber above ceiling. This interferes with other disciplines such as plumbing, fire, electrical, and HVAC to name a few. In the unit, RCC panels have now become 4 feet long and still packed due to multiple provider’s fiber and ONT. This is not scalable, nor the future. There is a very efficient solution, which we provide.
Congestion
There simply isn’t enough real estate in Telco closets throughout a facility, smart home wiring panels within units, and above a ceiling of corridors to handle multiple providers trying to squeeze their own micro duct and fiber to every unit. Every developer understands the difficulty to manage multiple providers all installing fiber to every unit.
Crazy and Inefficient right?!
History and Reasoning
When a provider owns the homerun cabling, it allows them to prevent choice, remove all accountability, and create an exclusive presence, even without having an exclusive relationship with the property.
The Solution
Our carrier, vendor, and service neutral in-building fiber solutions are engineered to provide a small footprint, clean and timely deployments, organized MDF/IDF, smaller smart home panels, competitive market place, and fiber network for vendor services who normally struggle to get around large facilities.
Vendor Network
With our planned and engineered shared fiber network, connecting every IDF and MDF closet, we design enough strands to accommodate all property vendor services such as camera, gate access, water meter, HVAC, A/V, packaging, fire protection, etc. Once you remove each of the very long list of vendors’ pricing for installing their own fiber network, our shared fiber quickly becomes economical.
22 Years of Experience
GigSouth is a full service, carrier neutral, fiber provider and engineering consultant for rural and urban broadband development. As bandwidth availability increases in urban markets, the digital divide grows between urban and rural areas. However, Internet and TV frustrations don’t exist just for rural markets.
Any of us that live or have friends and family that live in rural markets, understand that choice, Internet speed, Service value, and pricing rarely does not exist in a rural setting. We are actively trying to change that. In urban markets, the problem is normally exclusivity, due to the lack of shared infrastructure, which limits consumer choice and value. There are many people reading this that personally own or have friends that own an expensive condo in a city, complain about paying $200+ a month for Internet and TV, and still have poor service and support.
At GigSouth, we feel your pain and are proud to have been helping make telecommunications easy and affordable for a long time. Our long list of advantages is mainly due to us actually caring about the consumer. This is simply not a shared philosophy by others, where they tend to focus on shareholders and stock price instead. Our team has a long list of residential industry first to market: property-wide Wi-Fi solutions since 2001, hosted residential voice with IVR and online console since 2002, Triple play provider since 2002, Gigabit to the consumer since 2007 (Google made it popular but old news for us), and still the only provider with a fully redundant core. We feel our long history of experience and accomplishments go a long way to creating a better experience for you now and into the future.
