Will equipment be installed at my home?
Yes. We will place a small fiber junction box on the outside of your home and Inside your home we will be installing a new Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and a wireless router. Additional ethernet wiring inside your home may also be required. Don’t Worry! Although this process sounds a bit complicated, it doesn’t take long at all and will be performed by a skilled ATC technician at no cost to you!
A battery backup will be required to power your phone and/or internet service in the event of a general power outage.
How is fiber optic cable installed?
First we bore, trench, or plow in duct underground. We then blow the fiber optic cable through the conduit using compressed air moving at very high speeds. The high-velocity air flow causes the cable to float, and that way we can feed it through easily.
Why a buried fiber network?
Buried networks are all about Reliability, Reliability, Reliability! Count on your fiber connection working in blizzards, fires, or windstorms!
