Bringing Bright Futures to Communities
Brightscape offers a full range of networking solutions and services. Networking Solutions are packaged offerings addressing specific networking challenges. Networking Services are projects that are uniquely defined and scoped for each client engagement.
Network Solutions
Grant Illuminator
Verifies existing service coverage by carriers for specific addresses, for any number of addresses. The resulting determination of the number of served, underserved, and unserved locations in an area can be used for grant applications, network planning, and economic development.
Network & Carrier Marketing
On behalf of clients, Brightscape Networks markets excess network capacity, to create a stream of revenue that can be returned to stakeholders or used to fund other services.
Acoustic Sensing
Acoustic Sensing uses fiber cables as a sensing element. There are many applications for fiber sensing; for example, departments of transportation can use existing fiber cables to detect road conditions and monitor traffic.
Broadband for Public Housing
Brightscape Networks has expertise in defining network plans and obtaining funding for providing broadband access to multi-dwelling units.
Design Services
Broadband Strategy
Brightscape collaborates with clients to define strategies that address needs and produce desired results. We help define goals; analyze current and desired states; develop strategies; assess impact; and produce plans for executing the strategies.
Broadband Funding
We work with clients to define funding needs, identify funding sources, and acquire the funding necessary to fulfill a broadband strategy. Funding plans often entail pursuing grants, which we facilitate with our knowledge of grant funding and our skills in grant writing.
Network Sustainability
Sustainability usually entails generating revenue to cover operating costs, at least. To that end, Brightscape Networks develops plans for providing services and monetizing networks so the network delivers value for decades.
Network Design
Brightscape’s team has decades of experience producing designs optimized to produce desired results. We typically start by producing a high level design, then, through iterations, produce approved designs that are “shovel-ready.”
Build Services
Network Construction
Policies
Brightscape helps clients not only build networks, but also establish policies and procedures that optimize networks while minimizing construction costs. Policies include, for example, microtrenching, and “dig once.”
Construction Project
Management
Brightscape ensures that network build-outs are delivered on time and on budget with a team of project managers and support staff, plus the necessary tools and systems required to manage contractors effectively.
Equipment Procurement & Deployment
Brightscape has experience and relationships with network equipment providers, and the skills and capabilities required to order equipment and get it implemented efficiently. We can assist in producing RFPs, and in identifying cooperative agreements.
