MORE SPEED. MORE CAPACITY. MORE BANDWIDTH.
THE BASIC THEORY IN CABLING IS “IF YOU SKIMP, YOU'RE HOSED”
So, do it right from the beginning. That cost is minimal
compared to the possible and ongoing cost to repay
for labor, reinforce cable runs, pay at non-discounted
- no quantity rates per run, lay new conduit and
disrupt employee production.
Avoid the information bottleneck by implementing a
cable infrastructure which will outlast your current
needs by fifteen years or more. Determining the
appropriate cabling architecture is fundamental to
the quality, effectiveness and speed of your
communications. From strategic placement of the
main computer room and IDF’s (Intermediate
Distribution Frame) to mapping the distribution
methods for hubs, routers, servers, modems, bridges,
gateways, switches and data types - planning is critical.
DON'T DO IT ALONE. It is complex, challenging
and best left to the experts at Technology
Management. With over 10 years of experience, we
can anticipate and prepare a solid plan. Our 4 Phase
process is outlined below.
PHASE 1: VALIDATION ANALYSIS
| • |
Visually inspect and identify type and design layout |
| • |
Document and catalogue voice and data plant
elements |
| • |
Identify and examine protection equipment to meet
lightning activity and power plant reliability |
| • |
Pursue discussions and investigations into the
trouble history |
| • |
Establish networking requirements, expectations,
budgets and long term objectives |
| • |
Determine optimum mix of multi and single mode
fiber and copper categories |
PHASE 2: SPECIFICATION, DESIGN & REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
| • |
Compile voice and data transmission requirements |
| • |
Develop requirements for data systems backbone |
| • |
Finalize layouts for cable plant design |
| • |
Determine distances and terminations |
| • |
Identify electrical, compliance and conductivity |
| • |
Customize RFP |
| • |
Determine appropriate vendors |
| • |
Facilitate vendor understanding of needs |
PHASE 3: ANALYSIS & REWARD
| • |
Analyze RFP responses |
| • |
Negotiate contracts, prices, terms, warranties and
service support |
| • |
Review performance guarantees |
PHASE 4: IMPLEMENTATION
| • |
Facilitate vendor/client meetings to implement
plan, responsibilities and timelines |
| • |
Manage project to oversee and verify compliance |
| • |
Make vendors accountable on all deliverables |
| • |
Monitor conversion, troubleshooting and design
changes/change orders |
| • |
Ensure vendor delivers complete and correct
documentation |
| • |
Oversee performance testing |
