Do you pay FTTH work per unit?

We can quote per unit — per drop, per splice closure, per footage — or hourly. Per-unit works well for well-defined FTTH builds with a stable unit price book.

Do your OSP crews bring vehicles and equipment?

It depends on the scope. Splicing crews commonly work from an equipped splicing van or trailer. Placement crews need bucket trucks, pullers and reel trailers, which we scope and state on the quote.

Can you work on data center campus fiber as well as residential FTTH?

Yes. Campus fiber on a data center site is outside plant work — duct banks, vaults, high-count cable between buildings — and it is often where a hyperscale fiber schedule is most exposed.

OSP & FTTH Crews: Aerial, Underground, Splicing

Scope

Scope	Detail
Aerial	Strand, lash, overlash, pole attachment work to the make-ready plan
Underground	Pulls through conduit and innerduct, handholes, vaults, pull boxes
Splicing	Splice closures, terminals, taps, ribbon and single-fiber
Drops	Aerial and buried drops, NID / terminal install
Testing	OTDR and power meter, documentation to the carrier's format
Campus fiber	Duct bank pulls and vault splicing between buildings on data center campuses

Two kinds of OSP work, one crew pool

Residential FTTH and data center campus fiber share techniques and very little else. FTTH is volume work: many small units, a price book, and speed. Campus fiber is low-volume, high-count and high-stakes: a single 3456-fiber cable between two buildings can hold a phase's entire schedule. We staff each with the people who fit it, and many of our splicers have done both.

Safety

OSP crews work near energized lines, in traffic and in confined spaces. Every crew works to OSHA rules for the task — including 1910.268 for telecommunications work — plus your traffic control plan and the site's confined space procedures for vaults.
