Key Features of Connectivity | |
---|---|
3 fiber providers can provide dedicated, business grade internet access with guaranteed upload and download speeds. | Coaxial cabling can provide bundled phone, cable TV, and basic internet. |
Fixed wireless connectivity from the rooftop provides an independent internet option from the wire-line networks entering from the street. | Fiber from Pilot Fiber can provide shared high speed internet access for small businesses. |
Additional riser capacity is available to support future needs of tenants and ISP’s throughout the entire building. | Dedicated risers are present to contain and protect telecom cables from risk of damage. |

Use | Maximum Speed (Bandwidth rates) |
|
Copper | Used in older Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) networks, these networks use copper telephone lines to provide Internet access to customers. | 40 Mbps Down 5 Mbps Up |
Coaxial | Used in most Cable provider networks. Typically used for Television sets or Modems. | 300 Mbps Down 30 Mbps Up |
Fixed Wireless | Rooftop based antenna networks are used for both primary and secondary forms of connectivity. Top choice for redundant connection because it doesn't rely on existing wireline cabling into a building. Fixed Wireless should not be confused with Satellite Dishes which provide Television service and minimal Internet capabilities. | 1000 Mbps (1 Gig) Up and Down |
Fiber | Most technologically advanced form of cabling used in buildings. Signals can travel for greater distances at faster speeds. | 10,000 Mbps (10 Gig) Up and Down |
Definition | |
Direct to Tenant Space Only | Carrier runs a single cable from where their equipment is located to the tenant they are servicing. This is not ideal for a tenant ordering new service as it could require extensive construction which will delay the tenant getting timely service. |
Partial Distribution | Partial Distribution is defined as a distribution point every 6-10 floors. Carrier places several distribution points within the building where they can connect additional cables for tenants. A distribution point can either be a termination box or a coil of spare cabling. For new service requests, partial distribution is less time intensive than direct to tenant space cables. |
Full Distribution | Carrier places distribution points (a termination box or a coil of spare cabling) every 5 floors or less and can easily serve any tenant in the building. This setup drastically reduces the time it takes for tenants to receive new service. |
Definition | |
Type 1 | Carrier owns the fiber entering the building. |
Type 2 | Carrier is using someone else's fiber, copper or coax to reach a tenant. |
Phone Company or Cable Network | Carrier is entering the building with Copper Phone Cables or Coaxial Cables. These usually only offer slower Internet speeds. |
Rooftop Connection | Rooftop connections are designated for Fixed Wireless providers. See definition above. |
