Industrial Fiber Optic Construction and Repair Solutions
Trace Fiber Services provides turn-key communications infrastructure services to many industries. We primarily serve the Colorado Front Range, but extend to Western Colorado and other Mountain West regions under the right circumstances.
FTTX Operators
Home and business internet providers are increasingly turning towards fiber networks to provide the high speed that customers demand. Legacy cable providers and newer Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) as well as fixed wireless providers utilize fiber middle mile networks for connectivity. As networks are expanded (and adapted to changing road networks), Trace Fiber provides construction and relocation support for middle mile networks.
Backbone Networks
As cloud computing and hyperscale data center usage increase, major organizations are increasingly relying on backbone networks for connectivity and redundancy. These networks provide the highspeed backhaul between the nodes that run the internet. Trace Fiber specializes in building and repairing damages to long haul fiber networks to keep companies online in all conditions.
Telecommunication Providers
Legacy 3G/4G cell sites as well as new 5G cell phone towers require fiber backhaul (known as Outside Plant – OSP) to tie them into the wider communications network. As more devices are connected to cell networks and users demand faster connection speeds, the need for fast backhaul is only increasing. Trace Fiber works with major cell phone network operators to install new fiber lines to towers and repair damages to restore connectivity quickly.
Data Centers (& AI)
Communication between data centers to load share networks traffic or train AI GPT models requires tremendous OSP bandwidth. Major data center operators utilize dedicated fiber networks between physical locations to move data. Trace Fiber regularly supports the construction and repair of dedicated fiber lines which keep the internet and corporate systems running.
New Residential Developments
Installed broadband connectivity is rapidly becoming a requirement for perspective home buyers. Savvy land developers are pre-building FTTH fiber networks in new developments to address this need. Trace Fiber work with developers and ISPs to plan, engineering and construct new fiber optic networks.
Transportation Systems
Connected transportation systems require all-weather communication systems to move data (e.g., traffic cameras) and coordinate automated signage. These networks (like Colorado Department of Transportation) are often run on separate fiber networks to provide required bandwidth and redundancy. Trace Fiber works with transportation networks to install and repair right-of-way networks.
Wind Power Farms
Modern wind farms require rapid communications to coordinate power generation and provide detailed instructions to individual turbines. These networks are often fiber-based and Trace Fiber has the expertise and equipment to support austere deployments of closed net fiber networks. Reliable communications networks are essential to safe and effective renewable power generation.
Government Applications
Connectivity to bridge the digital divide is a bi-partisan priority in the United States. Trace Fiber works with ISPs that are deploying new or upgraded networks under Colorado Broadband Office grants, such as CPF and BEAD. Additionally, government agencies and municipalities are deploying dedicated fiber networks to enable emergency communication networks and provide bandwidth for educational institutions.
