Installing fiber in your neighborhood.

Installing fiber Internet is a collaborative effort between NocTel, your neighbors, and local utilities. Here's a quick breakdown of how it works:

1. Planning and Permitting

Before construction begins, we carefully plan the fiber network route. This involves coordinating with local governments, utility companies, and property owners to ensure we comply with all regulations and minimize disruptions.

2. Utility Easements

Utility easements are areas of land designated for public utilities—such as water, power, and now fiber. These easements allow us to lay fiber underground without needing individual permissions for each property.

  • What is an easement?
    An easement is a legal allowance for utilities to access specific areas on private or public property, typically along roadsides, driveways, or property edges. Easements often exist even if you’re unaware of them and are part of property deeds or county records.

  • Ingress, egress, and utility access
    These easements allow us to install, maintain, and repair fiber infrastructure. They cover access points like private roads and shared spaces. For county roads, we are automatically permitted to conduct construction as part of public utility access.

3. Construction Process

Once planning is complete, our team begins construction:

  • Underground fiber installation
    Fiber is trenched and bored underground, preserving the natural beauty of your neighborhood and protecting the network from weather-related damage.

  • Clean up: After construction, we restore the area to its original condition.

4. Connection to Your Home

Once the main fiber line is installed in your neighborhood, our team will bring the connection directly to your property. We’ll coordinate with you to determine the best route and placement of the fiber line to ensure everything meets your needs.

We’re committed to bringing high-speed internet to your community with minimal disruption and maximum long-term benefits. If you have questions about construction or utility easements, reach out to our team—we’re here to help!
