Network design & consultancy

We design the network before anyone digs.

PON, OTN and every other fibre-based network solution — surveyed, engineered, costed and documented, so what gets built is what the business actually needs and what it costs is known before the first drum is ordered.

Why design matters

The expensive mistakes in a fibre build all happen on paper.

A split ratio chosen without an optical budget. A route planned without walking the terrain. A backbone sized for today's traffic. None of these fail on day one — they fail two years in, when fixing them means going back to the same trenches and poles.

Our consultants come from operating networks, not just drawing them. What we specify, we can also source, deploy and support.

Disciplines

What we design and build.

01

PON networks

Passive optical access built to scale — the FTTH and FTTx networks that carry subscribers.

  • Optical power budget and loss calculation
  • Split ratio and splitter placement strategy
  • OLT sizing, port count and growth headroom
  • Feeder, distribution and drop network design
  • ODN layout — closures, ODFs, distribution boxes
  • Homes-passed and take-up modelling
02

OTN networks

Optical transport for the backbone — where capacity, reach and resilience are engineered rather than assumed.

  • DWDM channel planning and wavelength allocation
  • Link budget, span loss and amplification
  • Dispersion and OSNR analysis
  • Protection and restoration schemes
  • Node architecture and transponder selection
  • Capacity roadmap as traffic grows
03

Fibre-based solutions

Everything else that runs on glass — metro rings, backhaul, enterprise campuses and aerial routes.

  • Metro Ethernet and aggregation design
  • Backhaul and transmission routes
  • Campus and in-building fibre
  • Aerial routing — ADSS, OPGW, pole and span planning
  • Underground duct and trenching routes
  • Redundancy and diverse-path planning
How an engagement runs

Survey, model, cost, document — then build.

Every stage produces something you own and can act on, including the option to take the design elsewhere. We would rather win the build on the quality of the design than lock you into it.

  1. Site survey

    We evaluate terrain, existing infrastructure and environmental factors on the ground to pinpoint the obstacles that will affect installation.

  2. Feasibility analysis

    Whether the installation is practical and viable given what the survey found — including the honest answer when a route does not work.

  3. Design & engineering

    Optical budgets, topology, split ratios or wavelength plans, equipment specification and redundancy strategy.

  4. Cost estimation

    Materials, labour and equipment costed from survey data — a number you can budget against, not a range.

  5. Documentation

    Detailed reports with findings, drawings and recommendations, handed over as the record of what was decided and why.

  6. Deployment & support

    Our team can source the equipment and build it, then monitor and maintain it — or hand the pack to your contractor.

Also part of consultancy

Advisory that doesn’t stop at handover.

Network support & diagnostics

Diagnosing outages, slow throughput and router configuration problems on networks we did not necessarily build. Sometimes the useful engagement is a second opinion.

Infrastructure optimisation

Already have a network? We assess what is there and advise on where capacity, resilience or cost can be improved without a rebuild.

Call centre design

Multichannel support operations — phone, email and WhatsApp — designed around the volume you actually handle. Delivered on Seamless VoIP where it fits.

Start with a survey

Describe the route or the coverage area.

Whether it is homes to pass, a backbone span or a campus, tell us the ground you need to cover and we will scope the survey and design work from there.
