Central Office Engineering

 

ACRS' engineering provides a wide variety of engineering services to its clients, ranging from turn-key telecommunications projects to performing specific engineering activities on a stand-alone basis. Extending beyond our basic engineering capabilities are our construction management services including fiber optic placement; lightwave and PCM terminal equipment installation; and central office generic upgrades and translations.

Here at ACRS we provide standard RUS/Telcordia standards based engineering allowing the client to obtain a fair market value in upgrading, replacing, or integrating the latest digital central office equipment whether it be CLASS 4 or 5 digital central offices, SONET Optronix, STRATUM Level timing , DSX-1, DSX-3, FTTH OLT, Digital Loop Carrier implementation of GR303 concentration, MDF assistance, T-Carrier equipment provisioning, or Layer 2 or 3 data implementation. We offer a unique engineering approach given our expertise in hands on installation, provisioning and testing. We look at the "constructability" of any new plant addition while maintaining strict licensed engineering standards. ACRS respects and adheres to all state licensure requirements guarantying that a licensed professional engineer has reviewed and approved the planned project specifications. We have extensive experience with implementing digital learning technology. Our engineering design of a fiber optic facility for many other ILECs providing message/packet telephone service and a full motion clear-channel digitally interactive educational video system for high schools. We also provide pricing and amortization recovery for our ILECs clients, but more importantly guaranteed an acceptable price to four rural districts constrained by limited budgets. ACRS maintains an engineering staff certified in specific equipment allowing ongoing client support. We currently have obtained the following certifications:
