FairPoint Launches Construction Solutions

FairPoint Communications, a wholesale telecommunications provider in New England, has announced the launch of Construction Solutions for its wholesale customers.

FairPoint’s Construction Solutions for wholesale customers include providing small cell construction and custom cellular locations, structured cabling and inside wiring, construction project management and custom-built network solutions. Whether it is a demarcation extension, a new fiber design build, or a site survey, FairPoint will act as a single project manager of all deliverables and vendors, it said.

“We know each wholesale customer has unique network and construction needs,” said Tony Tomae, FairPoint executive vice president and chief revenue officer. “With many years of experience providing high-bandwidth front-haul and backhaul services, approximately 17,000 route miles of directly owned-and-operated fiber in northern New England, our experienced local workforce and long-time vendor relationships, we are uniquely positioned to provide turn-key construction solutions to our customers.”

FairPoint provides wholesale customer access to more than 100,000 businesses in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. It also offers extended connectivity into Boston and New York City.

“As a network service provider, it’s our job to know how to build, improve and maintain networks and the equipment that supports them,” said Chris Alberding, FairPoint vice president of product management. “We will now put this expertise to work for our wholesale customers by offering to plan, coordinate, install and maintain their network connections. Since 2011, we have completed – on time – more than 1,100 fiber-to-the-tower macro tower builds. This feat is just one testament to our skills managing complex projects and large teams.”
