Patriot Broadband conducts a thorough market research study which includes a competitive analysis to understand the competitive landscape in the target area. We perform a tower asset review to identify potential infrastructure for service delivery. High-level design helps in conceptualizing the network architecture, while population analysis enables the assessment of market demand. Furthermore, we assess the available technology options to identify the most efficient and effective methods to deliver services.

This involves a detailed Radio Frequency (RF) design which maps out how signals will be transmitted and received. We provide an Equipment Bill of Materials that outlines all the necessary equipment for the network. The IP Network Design ensures smooth data communication, while the microwave/mmWave backhaul (with frequency coordination if needed) enables long-distance data transmission. Fiber feasibility is assessed for potential high-speed connectivity, and a comprehensive Scope of Work is created for the construction phase.

This stage involves the application for tower space and configuring the equipment on the tower. Patriot Broadband also negotiates leases and conducts a legal review to ensure all agreements are beneficial and lawful. They carry out a Constructability Document (CD) Review to ensure the proposed project can be practically built and manage the process of obtaining the necessary permits for construction and operation.

This involves procuring and managing logistics for all the necessary equipment. Installation and configuration of equipment in the cabinet include routers, switches, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), converters, distribution panels, batteries, servers, outlets, cable glands, etc., to ensure a functional and efficient network.

Once the equipment is installed and configured, Patriot Broadband integrates the components to form a cohesive network, a process known as network turn up. We then conduct extensive testing and verification to ensure the network operates as expected. Optimization improves performance, while failover testing ensures network resilience. Fiber turn up, if applicable, verifies the functionality of fiber connections. We also verify construction efficacy to ensure everything was built to specification.

Patriot Broadband provides franchisees with technical training covering areas such as Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) Installation, WiFi router configuration, and remote monitoring. This ensures the franchisee`s team can handle day-to-day technical operations. We also provide a network diagram that visualizes the network structure, a closeout package for sites, and installation documentation to serve as a reference guide.
