Design and Engineer

LightRiver Certified Integration Services provides information and technical support to customers during the planning, implementation and deployment of equipment into new or existing networks. Our technical staff is highly skilled in the following areas:

• Network design review
• Site surveys and recommendations for site readiness
• Detailed engineering for racking, power and cable management solutions
• Comprehensive methods-of-procedure (MOPs) for installation, test and integration and circuit migration

From Concept to Reality
During the sales process, preliminary engineering plans and a Statement of Work (SOW) were outlined and used to get a detailed project cost and scope.  The next step is to confirm the pre-sales engineering plans and transition from concept to reality.  Transition Engineering moves your project from a preliminary engineering plan of attack to the Detailed Engineering plan.

A Site Survey is performed to test the assumptions made to develop the initial SOW and engineering efforts.   This is a critical component to creating the final Engineering Design Package (EDP) that will be used for actual Installation, Integration and Test & Turn-Up.

Just because your current fiber is handling the traffic, doesn’t mean it be able to handle next-gen traffic.  Performing a Fiber Optic Characterization (FOC) prior to implementing your new carrier-grade network is highly recommended to ensure that your fiber is ready to handle increase bandwidth loads, any frequency adjustments and tighter channel spacing of your new equipment.  This is especially true if your fiber has been in the ground for a while.

After the Site Survey and FOC have been completed, the Transition Engineering team finalizes the Detailed Engineering plan with any Discrepancy Reports and finalized SOW and EDP with the Project Manager.

In the meantime, LightRiver’s Logistics Services team reviews the final plans and ensures that the right gear is ordered, staged, kitted and shipped to the install site.
