Geo Fibre Location Consultancy

Geo.Consultancy – are you well connected?

Today the value of commercial property is directly related to the quality of the infrastructure at its disposal. While transport may top most people’s list, the availability of high quality data network infrastructure is now a crucial determinant for commercial property investors. The viability of buildings proposed for heavy data use can be established through a fibre survey.

Geo provides an expert fibre locating consultancy service. Our reports are totally independent, and employ advanced mapping tools to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current availability of optical fibre cable infrastructure in a given location.

Our experienced infrastructure planners can also assess the costs of improving existing data network assets and their suitability for specific business functionality.

The value of this work to our clients in the quest for the 'perfect' Data Centre site is that we de-risk their overall investment from an infrastructure perspective. Too often, organisations invest millions in new sites, only to find that the sites are 'stranded' from an infrastructure perspective. Geo enables organisations to make informal investment decisions with the assurance that site connectivity is understood from the outset.

Geo offers two types of survey:

Desktop survey (using Geo’s geographical information system)
Field survey (a more in-depth survey)

Desktop survey

The objective of the desktop survey is to provide a go/don’t go decision based on the general availability of network infrastructure in the geographic area of interest, along with likely cost and timescale for connectivity.

This survey report includes the following:

GIS report of area including existing fibre network infrastructure
Information on proximity of location to backbone fibre infrastructure
Estimation of likely connection cost of location to backbone exploring diverse and non-diverse schemes
Likely lead times for delivery

Field Survey

The field survey builds on the deliverables from the desktop survey. It establishes the physical presence of infrastructure, potential delivery risks, supply availability and security of supply. The data solutions available from service providers are also established.

This survey report includes the following:

Confirmed location of infrastructure in the vicinity of the site and likely supply availability from providers
Investigation of all connectivity routes to establish associated risks
Indication of likely data solutions available including: Ethernet, IP services including QoS-based services like MPLS, wavelength solutions and dedicated fibre
