Real Estate
Fiber connectivity increases the value of the physical property (owner can charge more per square foot)
Incentive to prospective buyers/leasers who need fiber infrastructure
Finding specific carriers who provide QoS (Quality of Service) for potential high-level clients with critical or large infrastructure demands
Implementing fiber services is easier in a fiber lit building
Fiber services are less expensive in an existing fiber lit building, which provides cost savings and less time getting to the marketplace with product
Targeting where the “Smart Buildings” are located with advanced technology (hardware) and multiple fiber carriers (Fiber providers), is imperative for technology and other type of businesses that have large bandwidth needs
Rooftop availability for cell tower companies to build their towers and connect to fiber in the building
Broadband availability in building for small to medium sized businesses that can connect to coax and gig-e services, must be connected to a fiber terminal near or in the building
Help clients with multiple offices to target fiber lit building locations to better connect their business locations based on broadband or carrier fiber providers
