AECSC
We will utilize our pre-existing network to feed the proposed locations. We're anticipating needing to create taps from our mainline fiber with 48 fiber feeds. We use a CALIX based system that utilizes both E9 and E7 cards to create a GPON network. We utilize single mode, loose tube fiber cable sizes from 48, 96, 144, and 288 fiber counts. We partner with our Internet Service Provider, CarolinaConnect, who handles all of the in house operations. Aiken Electric Cooperative (AEC) is responsible for almost all the OSPs (outside plant) from our central offices to our demarcation point of the network interface device located on the side of the house. For construction, our engineering firm will handle the first phases of permitting, surveying, and design work. Our in-house management team will oversee contractors during the construction phase and then will work with our splicing contractors for testing and inspection as well as data collection such as speed tests and geolocation tagging.
