Threshold Fiber Solutions is a services organization focused on providing creative access solutions that overcome the bandwidth bottleneck. We provide our customers significant market advantages in cost to construct, simplified permitting process, speed of deployment and redundancy. A key attribute is we don’t enter discrete geographic markets, but let the customers’ requirements determine where we build. Threshold can design and build networks in any market in the United States.

Our installation technique is much quicker and much less obtrusive than conventional trench excavation or directional boring as well as emerging techniques. It is easier than laying duct and pulling cable. The installation can occur at almost any time of the year. With this technology, Threshold can build networks for its customers reliably and very rapidly – more than 1,000 fiber feet per day.

Industry Overview, “Why we do what we do..."

While capacity for handling the demands of Internet traffic has expanded into the Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), broadband bandwidth availability to commercial buildings has not. Metro transport networks are limited because physical connections to and from network aggregation points, like Carrier Hotels, to commercial buildings are still fiber poor. Today, fiber infrastructure passes buildings, but does not have network connections into buildings. Connectivity to multi-tenant buildings is still the biggest challenge for service providers.

Factors contributing to the “last mile bottleneck” include:

• Internet and multimedia applications are using bandwidth capacity at increasing rates. Copper infrastructure is unable to accommodate new technologies

• Low cost construction options to multi-tenant buildings (MTB) are limited, today it is too cost prohibitive

Metropolitan Access Networks

Today, less than 5% of all multi-tenant commercial buildings in the United States have fiber connections, despite the demand for broadband services. Threshold Fiber Solutions is the market leader in access networks using a new, innovative high-speed technique for laying high capacity optical fiber to create instant, low cost networks to multi-tenant buildings.
