Operators
Telecom operators
Router migrations, 5G backhaul capacity, optical transport and acceptance testing on Nokia, Ciena and Ericsson networks, planned and proven the way carrier change control expects.
Transport & mobile services
Carrier-grade network engineering
We make it work.
Your customers never see the network. They only notice when it fails. We design, migrate and prove IP, optical and mobile networks for operators, data centers and enterprises, with engineering proven on AT&T and Verizon networks.

Who we serve
Three kinds of networks. One standard of care.
Different operations, same discipline: written scope, tested change, documented handover.
Data centers
Data centers
Interconnect design and turn-up, optical capacity between sites, routing architecture, and failover you can prove before production traffic rides on it.
Architecture & DCI servicesEnterprises
Enterprises
WAN consolidation, firewalls and segmentation, vendor-neutral architecture reviews, and orderly voice and TDM-to-IP migrations, documented in plain language your team can own.
Routing & security servicesWhere we make the difference
The work that can’t go wrong.
Traffic now spans more sites, routers and optics are converging into one job, and the engineers who built your network are retiring. These are the moments operators call us in.
Flagship
Linking sites or data centers?
IP + optical transport & DCI
Nokia SR OS IP/MPLS on 7750, 7705 and IXR, plus Ciena packet-optical and coherent DWDM. We handle the router layer and the optical layer together, so nothing falls between two teams.
High demand
Cutover on the calendar?
Clean cutovers, with a way back
Router refreshes, capacity upgrades and vendor moves with baselines, a written method of procedure, a tested rollback, and validation that every site is back in monitoring.
High demand
Adding 5G capacity?
5G & mobile backhaul
C-Band, CBRS and 850 MHz capacity turn-ups, Ericsson baseband integration, and microwave and dark-fiber backhaul upgrades from 1G to 10G and 25G.
Capabilities
Six disciplines. One accountable partner.
Optical, IP, radio and voice usually sit with different vendors, and the problems live in between. We work across all of them, so nothing falls between teams.

CapabilitiesPackages
Four ways to start. Or build your own.
Fixed scope, a defined deliverable, and a price agreed in writing before work begins. No open-ended billing and no surprises. If none fits, we’ll scope a custom engagement.
PROVE
Turn-up & acceptance testing
Prove a new or upgraded circuit delivers what you paid for before you accept it or put traffic on it.
DetailsMOVE
Migration & cutover
Router refreshes, capacity upgrades, IP-over-DWDM moves and vendor migrations, planned with a way back.
DetailsPROTECT
Owner’s engineer
An independent, experienced engineer on your side of the table while a vendor or integrator does the build.
DetailsKEEP
Fractional network engineer
Experienced engineering every month without a full-time hire. Escalations, change reviews and documentation that stays with you.
DetailsCustom
CUSTOM
Don’t see what you need?
The packages are starting points, not limits. Bring the problem and we’ll scope a custom engagement around it: an architecture review, a one-off migration, RFP support, RF or microwave work, a voice or legacy switch cleanup, an automation project, or something not listed here.
How an engagement runs
Engineered like we’re the ones on call.
Every step serves one outcome: your customers keep a network that works.
- 01
Scope
A scoping call under mutual NDA. You get written questions and a recommended approach, not a sales pitch.
- 02
Propose
Scope, deliverables and price agreed in writing before any work starts.
- 03
Deliver
Baselines, a method of procedure with go/no-go criteria, and a tested rollback for every change window.
- 04
Hand over
As-builts, runbooks and test results that stay with your team.

From the field
Proof, not promises.
Representative work from carrier networks. Employer, site and network details stay confidential, and yours will too.
Cell-site router migrations.
We migrated cell-site routers from Nokia 7705 SAR to 7250 IXR-e: pre-cut baselines, LDP, SDP and epipe cutover, post-cut validation, and SNMP enablement so every migrated site landed in NSP and SevOne monitoring.
Nokia IXR-eSR OSNSP
5G C-Band & CBRS turn-ups.
We built the VPLS, SAP, epipe and IPv6 configurations on Nokia cell-site routers for Ericsson 6648 and 6630 basebands, and replaced DUS-41 equipment through coordinated VLAN changes, then upgraded microwave and dark-fiber backhaul from 1G to 10G and 25G.
Ericsson5G NRMicrowave
Acceptance testing & monitoring recovery.
We wrote the team’s step-by-step RFC 2544 and Y.1564 test procedure, including loopback isolation, and led the effort to bring unmonitored sites back into NSP by fixing SNMPv3, engine-ID and reachability faults.
RFC 2544Y.1564SNMPv3
Examples are anonymized, representative accounts of work performed by our principal architect, including in previous roles with carriers; some combine details from more than one project. Employer, client and network details are withheld for confidentiality.
