1) so you decided to build a fiber network...what's next?

How do you begin the daunting task of planning, designing, and then building a fiber network?

Our Customer Success Manager, Amanda Corson will take you through some of the most important steps you should take when you start planning, designing, and building a fiber network. 

 

2) How to customize your bill of materials?

In our first video, we looked at the capabilities of our software tool, FOND. In this video, we will focus on a strong capability and use case of FOND - how you can customize the bill of materials to meet your funding requirements.

 

 

 

 

3) The Cost Breakdown of Your BOM (Bill of Materials)

Today, our goal is to look at a side-by-side comparison of two designs using the same architecture, one with our pre-configured bill of materials and the other being more uniquely defined based on the architecture. We will further analyze the cost breakdown and how to align the BOM with the network’s architecture.

 

 

 

4) Categories in the BOM (Bill of Materials)

Today, we will look at some of the universally used categories to supply a general overview that will help you build and organize your bill of materials. While we’re wrapping up our videos that focus on the bill of materials, you can access more content about how to customize the BOM in FOND’s Knowledge base

 

 

 

5) Input Data Basics

We are going to review the input data step of generating a design, specifically looking at area select and uploading address data. What is input data? Input data guides you in knowing where to put equipment and knowing what to serve with the network.  

 

 

 

 

6) Input Data - Editing Underground Path

Here we are going to take a closer look at editing the underground path in the input data step of generating a design. This video aims to provide an understanding of the reasons behind these edits as well as offer guidance on effectively utilizing FOND’s drawing tool for editing and drawing your underground path.

 

7) Uploading Pole & Strand Data, Editing Pole & Aerial Span Data 

We are going to take a closer look at uploading the pole and strand data in the input data step of generating a design as well as editing pole and aerial span data. We will walk you through the simple process of first uploading your pole and strand data, followed by editing pole and aerial span data to ensure you’ve completed an appropriate step within the input data step of generating a FOND planning design.

 

8) Interview with Harley Slater, FOND Product Manager - Part 1

We have a special guest with us in our newest video– our Product Manager for FOND, Harley Slater. We’re excited to learn more about FOND’s innovation and the driving force behind its success. Stay tuned for part 2!
