After construction, we connect the cables and check to make sure everything is working. We also install devices called “terminals,” which will send the signal from our network to homes.
When neighborhoods are ready, we prepare the line for connection.
Building a fiber network is a big job. It means working with companies like Dominion Power and Roanoke Cooperative and getting permission from the government. Sometimes, we have to move telephone poles or ask railroads to cross their paths, which can slow things down.
“Fiber internet” is a type of internet that uses tiny fibers bundled into cables to send signals from one place to another.
A “fiber network” is a huge loop, sometimes miles long, made of these fiber cables.
All of the fiber cables in an area must be connected and installed before the service can work.
