Our founder, Bill Gaylord, brings an extensive breadth of knowledge and experience to the company. His diverse expertise ensures that FiberNorth excels in all ways. Bill’s background includes not only 20+ years of experience but also network programming, network design, and tower climbing, complemented by a solid understanding of excavation and the physical aspects of network implementation. This unique combination of skills has driven the creation of FiberNorth.
Underground: FiberNorth employs cutting-edge directional drilling and advanced plowing equipment to efficiently install conduits along roads and in various other locations. This versatile equipment is also suitable for the installation of water lines, electric lines, sewer lines, and numerous other utilities that require subterranean placement. Not only does this technology minimize ground disturbance compared to other methods, but it also offers unparalleled speed and, in many cases, cost-effectiveness. Additionally, our state-of-the-art equipment is designed to operate effectively in any weather conditions, ensuring that we can maintain productivity and reliability year-round.
Installation: FiberNorth has a state of the art fiber optic blower to install fiber optics faster with less damage into micro duct or normal duct at distances measured in miles if need be. We also have the ability to install duct indoors and install that same fiber into that duct using fish tape or pull string methods as well.
Utility Location: FiberNorth utilizes state-of-the-art fiber optic blowers to install fiber optics more quickly and with minimal damage, whether into micro duct or standard ducting over distances that can span miles. We also have the capability to install ducting indoors and subsequently install fiber using fish tape or pull string methods.
Fiber Optic Splicing: We have multiple fiber optic fusion splicers, testers, and meters to repair, install, or test fiber optic lines of all types, in all situations.
Microwave Links: With over two and a half decades of tower climbing experience and even more experience in wireless, we install anything wireless. From simple Wi-Fi routers, to powerful, licensed microwave links that cover 25+ miles and carry over 1Gbps of data.
Light Excavating: Since we have all the equipment to run utilities, we also have all the equipment for an assortment of small jobs. We drill lines in for water wells and septic pump-up systems. Fiber North is also very good at moving water and working to grade. We have been known to help with drainage systems around buildings to help prevent water from penetrating the building.
Network Design, troubleshooting, and repair: With 15+ years of network engineering experience, we will help you with our networking issues, big and small, inside and out.
