Your Fiber Network Deserves the Right Partner
Choosing a fiber installation partner isn’t just about comparing price quotes—it’s about ensuring your network is built to perform, scale, and last. Poor installation can lead to costly downtime, safety issues, and major project delays.
To protect your investment, it’s essential to ask the right questions before you sign the contract. At TermLink Solutions, we encourage prospective clients to dig deep—and we’re proud to provide clear, confident answers.
1. Are You Experienced in Aerial Fiber Installation Projects?
Aerial fiber work isn’t the same as underground trenching. It requires specialized training, equipment, and coordination with utilities.
Ask your potential contractor:
- How many aerial fiber installations have you completed?
- Are your crews familiar with pole regulations and safety standards?
At TermLink Solutions, our team has decades of combined experience deploying aerial fiber in rural, urban, and high-demand utility zones.
2. What Fiber Installation Safety Protocols Do You Follow?
Working near power lines and at elevation involves serious risk. Your fiber partner should prioritize safety with:
- OSHA-compliant protocols
- Job-specific safety certifications
- Consistent crew training and evaluations
At TermLink, safety isn’t optional—it’s built into every step of our process.
Read OSHA’s official utility work standards
3. Do You Conduct Thorough Fiber Testing and QA?
Fiber splicing and installation are only the beginning—testing ensures performance and prevents future failures.
Ask:
- Do you perform OTDR and light source testing?
- Will I receive full documentation for each connection?
TermLink Solutions provides complete testing packages and shares full records so you know your system is optimized.

4. How Do You Manage Permitting and Pole Attachments?
Permits and pole access delays can stall entire builds. Choose a partner who:
- Handles permit submissions directly
- Navigates local and state utility rules with confidence
- Works efficiently with telecom or electrical co-ops
TermLink has dedicated permitting coordinators and deep knowledge of pole attachment regulations across multiple states.
5. Can You Scale Your Fiber Installation Team to My Needs?
Whether you’re deploying 5 miles or 500, your contractor should have the capacity and flexibility to scale up.
Ask:
- How many crews can you dedicate to my project?
- How do you maintain timelines during larger builds?
With flexible deployment strategies, TermLink Solutions scales efficiently while maintaining quality and meeting your deadlines.
6. What Makes You the Right Fiber Installation Partner?
Every fiber contractor will claim to be the best. Push for real answers:
- What’s your average project turnaround time?
- Can you provide references or case studies?
TermLink delivers results—on time and on budget. Our success is measured in repeat clients, strong referrals, and a reputation built on quality.
