Design/Engineering

From fiber-optic cable plant designs for urban, rural, and previously deemed “off-grid” service areas, EN Communications engineers can set a project up for success. We deliver designs for SCADA, Smart Grid, and other electric utility services across a fiber-based communications network. With our fiber-optic design, you will have a foundation of accuracy combined with flexibility, being easily and economically accommodative to change orders and redlines.

Network and turn up for all projects
■ Design and deployment of data, voice, and internet solutions for member and business services
■ Quality assurance design and implementation
■ PON On Primary design approach using GPON architecture to combine gigabit speeds and the benefits of economies of scale
■ Development of redundancy mechanisms for network reliability and availability

We offer meticulous low-level design (LLD) services to translate high-level network architecture into detailed, actionable plans. Our team of experienced engineers develops comprehensive schematics and blueprints that specify the exact layout, configurations, and connections needed for network deployment. This includes detailed diagrams, equipment specifications, cabling routes, and connectivity requirements to ensure seamless implementation. We emphasize precision and scalability, crafting designs that support current needs and future growth. ENTRUST’s low-level design services also include rigorous validation and optimization to ensure that every aspect of the network functions optimally, providing a solid foundation for reliable and efficient telecommunications infrastructure.

EN Communications’ broad expertise in ISP and OSP engineering projects ensures that your telecom project benefits from solutions developed in full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. From underground verification and as-built documentation to aerial planning and construction project management, telecom companies can count on our team to get the job done in a timely manner. Our national network of relationships with power and grid-related utilities and municipalities provides intelligence helps with the approval across the spectrum of ISP/OSP objectives – including performing feasibility studies, producing engineering drawings for construction and permits, and consulting on
implementation.

Our telecom planning walkout team has the expertise required to help our clients develop infrastructure service routes. EN Communications planners are well-versed in network/distribution expansions and interior route planning for demarcation/extended demarcation points. These tasks include but are not limited to, feasibility studies, right-of-way research, design routes of service, OSP and ISP infrastructure design, mapping of existing infrastructure, and outlining subleases. Upon fielding/survey completion, we provide a client-specific scope of work detailing pre-construction and design planning.

ENTRUST offers robust field engineering services designed to support the planning, deployment, and maintenance of advanced telecommunications networks. Our field engineering team is equipped with extensive technical expertise and state-of-the-art tools to ensure precise and efficient execution of projects. We provide site surveys, detailed field assessments, and accurate data collection to inform network design and implementation. Our services include troubleshooting, equipment installation, and system integration, ensuring seamless and reliable network performance. Additionally, ENTRUST prioritizes safety and regulatory compliance, delivering high-quality field engineering solutions that meet the highest industry standards.

EN Communications has a highly skilled team dedicated to make-ready engineering. We are well-versed in NESC and local PUC requirements and adept at handling the dynamic changes around specific pole owner requirements. Our flexibility yields faster submittal times and cost reductions for our clients.

Our experts can simplify and unify your organizational data and operations. We keep the entire organization in mind, from CEO to CSR, so your employees can work with greater efficiency and accuracy in an environment of simplicity, visibility, and self-care.

■ Supporting smart metering and grid management with unsurpassed speed and reliability
■ Simplifying the turnup, redundancy, maintenance, and comprehensive real-time data for your entire operations through PON technology.
■ Employing automation and network discovery techniques to reduce the hands-on time and attention needed to achieve desired outcomes.
■ Interfacing multiple business systems in an API-driven, vendor-gnostic manner.
■ Utilizing integrated Software-Defined Redundant Passive Optical network (SD RPON) to offer a diverse path architecture in GPON networks that improve the reliability and availability of your fiber network tenfold — achieving the greatest economies of scale possible with this technology by automatically switching based on configurable thresholds and events.

EN Communications’ comprehensive assessment provides the foundation for accurate cost analysis, along with the ability to include pole leading as part of third-party attachment applications required by some electric utilities. Telecommunications clients have the reassurance that accurate and precise pole loading analysis will be submitted for approval, which prevents unnecessary delays. Our team can offer remedies for falling poles and will suggest alternate design routes to alleviate costly pole replacements. We use the most current pole-loading software and can provide our clients with PE-sealed reporting.

EN Communications provides professional engineering reviewed and sealed documents for all telecom services as required by local, state, and federal ordinances.

In addition, we understand the importance of keeping your asset tracking systems up to date. Our highly skilled team can convert red-line data provided by your construction team or field data collected by our field crews and turn it into as-built information in many different platforms, including Bentley’s MicroStation, Autodesk’s AutoCAD, ESRI, 3QIS, QGIS, and more.
