Network Transmission, Cabling, Topology, Hardware Installation

Our professionals bring extensive knowledge of OSP/ISP broadband, copper and fiber optic voice, data and video cabling installations. Our quality of cabling and hardware installations is unparalleled in the industry and provides our clients with complete network infrastructure build outs.

RF and Video Backbone Coaxial Cabling and Equipment Installations

From the installation of coaxial cabling to the installation of Nodes, Line extenders, mini-bridgers and equalizers our trained professionals are well versed in RF and Video Backbone and station cabling installations. We employ a core of coaxial splicers with over twenty years experience in RF and Video equipment installations. We maintain an extensive database of well over 2000 MDU properties, which we have designed and constructed throughout Eastern Massachusetts.

Telephony Cabling and Equipment Installations

Our installation professionals are certified to install Category 3, 5, 5E, 6 and 7 LAN cabling systems. Quality is our main focus when undertaking a telephony cabling project. We understand the intricacies of telephony and data transmission and work with your firm to provide creative solutions to your network needs.

We provide complete cabling mapping and certification through As Built plans, prints, and test reports which are provided at the closeout of every cabling project.

Aerial Construction

Current Solutions Communications provides fully equipped and staffed aerial construction crews with the ability to provide all phases of pole line and lateral construction. Our crews have extensive knowledge of existing pole line construction related to the particular network, which they are working on.

Safety is foremost in this service and all employees have received Boston Edison Power Space Safety Certification as well as adhere to the BellCore Construction standards.

Great care is taken in the planning and undertaking of aerial construction projects and our firm secures all the proper police details where necessary as well as adhering to all public safety practices.

   Services provided include:

• Stranding and Lashing

• Pole Transfers

• Self Support Hardline and Soft Lateral Drops

• Coaxial, Telephony and Fiber Optic cable placement

Underground Construction

Our outside plant construction division maintains a large inventory of underground construction equipment. Our fleet of trenchers, cable pullers, conduit benders and duct proofing crews are available for projects throughout the region. In addition to these tools, our OSP department has an immense database of personnel and equipment resources such as directional boring, coring, and paving related to any underground project, which we undertake.

All installations of paving, concrete restoration and landscaping are restored to original or better than original condition and are fully warranted.

Electronic Upgrades

Our planning and installation departments are continuously updating their training and industry knowledge to stay abreast of the latest technologies that the industry has to offer. We continually revisit our projects in order to review and update the equipment installations, which we have provided and keep our clients informed as to the latest technologies available.

Testing, Certification and Reporting Services

Signal Generation, Testing and Reporting

On projects and backbones that are not active, we employ the use of our PCI TSG-4000  Video Signal Generator. Our PCI TSG-4000 Video Signal Generator will replicate a highly stable RF output from 5MHz to 1GHz. All test parameters and results are stored, printed and reported for your documentation.

Signal Sweeping, Testing and Reporting

On projects and backbones that are actively tied into your network, we employ the use of our WaveTek Model MS1400. The WaveTek allows us to monitor, record and print level measurements from 5 MHz to 860 MHz on all analog signals and digitally modulated carriers.

Signal Level Compatibility, Testing and Reporting

Testing parameters can vary greatly from transmission equipment to receiving equipment. Current Solutions Communications has the ability to test signal level compatibility between equipment sources with forward and return path generation. All test parameters and results are stored and reported for your documentation.

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Testing and Reporting

 For TDR shots we employ the use of our Riser-Bond Model 1270A metallic time domain reflectometer. With the use of our TDR we can easily locate signal lose above or below ground or in bad splices, corroded cable, faulty taps etc.

This TDR is also capable of determining theft of video service by the use of impedance through waveform storage. All tests can be stored and reported for your use.

Cat5, 5E, 6 & 7 LAN Testing and Certification

For all network cabling testing and certification, no test instrument compares to our Fluke DSP4100. We test for all cross-talk, opens, shorts, grounds and impedance. All Network cabling is certified, tested and printed for your documentation. Another test instrument that we use is the DataCom NetTest LAN tester.

Optical Transmission

The installation, splicing and testing of single-mode and multimode fiber optic cable is one that cannot be compromised. To this end, we employ the latest and best in equipment. During installation of inside or outside plant, we utilize our Greenlee Tension Fiber Optic Super Tugger.

For fusion splicing, we use our Sumitomo Type36 Fusion Splicer. This device employs double the magnification of any other splicers. This allows for the detection of minor defects that otherwise would not be seen, resulting in typical db losses of less than.03 db.

For OTDR testing, we employ our GN NetTest CMA4000. This OTDR is outstanding in the fact that it not only tests 850, 1310, 1550nm  single and multimode, but is also capable of testing the new media, 1650nm up to 450 kilometers.
