Building

See it all come together on time and in budget

Any vendor can sell you a technology product; NRTC’s focus is helping you implement technology solutions.

Deploying or expanding a broadband network requires design, engineering, and large-scale project management expertise. Without those, a multi-million-dollar project can quickly spiral out of control – behind schedule and over budget.

Our experienced team can help guide you through the process, starting with design and engineering services that help you build the optimal implementation plan. Our construction and project management expertise can benefit everything from the RFP process to materials procurement. 

If you’re enhancing smart grid infrastructure, NRTC staff can help you determine how new technologies will interface with those you’ve already implemented as well as the operational and billing systems you count on to manage your network and customer experience.

Building and integration is where great technology ideas can turn into major headaches. NRTC’s team can help you avoid those pitfalls by lending its expertise and partnering with you throughout your implementation.

FCC Preparing in Case Spectrum Auction Authority Returns

With Congressional leaders showing some willingness to return spectrum auction authority to the FCC, the Commission took steps to hasten the distribution of licenses for 5G and other wireless services. It proposed rules for reauction of some AWS-3 licenses (1.7 GHz and 2.1 GHz), with bidding credits to attract bids for rural licenses. It launched an investigation into auctioning lower C-band (3.98-4.2 GHz) licenses.
