Long-haul fiber connections between facilities are major infrastructure projects. Multiple jurisdictions. Railroad crossings. Highway crossings. Rural right-of-way negotiations. Environmental assessments for water crossings. And at the end of it, a fiber connection that your operations depend on indefinitely.
This is the work where project management and engineering experience matter most. We’ve built long-haul connections across different countries and regulatory environments. The complexity is manageable when you’ve done it before.
Complete fiber installation for routes 30–150km in length. Unlike metro connections, long-haul routes cross multiple jurisdictions, often include railroad and highway corridor crossings (which have separate permit authorities), may traverse protected environmental areas, and typically require right-of-way agreements with private landowners in rural sections.
Installation methods vary by route segment — directional boring under roads and waterways, aerial on utility poles in appropriate areas, direct burial in rural segments. A 100km route might use four different installation methods across different sections.
Long-haul connections (30–150km): 28–45 weeks total
Phase Typical Duration Route survey and engineering 3–5 weeks
Permit acquisition 16–24 weeks Installation 8–16 weeks
Testing and documentation 3–4 weeks
