I am considering building a construction team that can drop into a small town or large subdivision, install fiber and move on. Something where I own the construction equipment and keep labor costs low. Want to identify the minimum equipment necessary and the methods of construction to provide the best value.
HDD with mud truck Do we need a vacuum excavator? Mini excavator One of these drop plows. Whoever said their guy can do 5-8 homes per day.... yeah that one (to lazy to search who it was). What to use for hand holes? Plastic hand holes? What are the best values for splice cases? Perhaps try UBNT GPON. Can always throw it in the ditch if it does not work. So a best practices/FTTH in a box schedule of equipment and methods is needed. From that I will look at the ROI needed from the equipment as well as the labor costs to estimate the costs to do a subdivision. >From that we will look at the ROI on a competitive ARPU to see if an area is >worth doing. I keep getting asked to do this, so I guess I better do this.
