Additional Projects

Technomethods has implemented a number of low-profile projects in the following subject areas:

Municipal Network Development--Created a process by which a municipal entity could predetermine fiber optic route options and leverage existing assets to recruit an alternative provider.

Right of Way Brokering--Designed and facilitated a process for aligning municipal right of way authorities for a win-win relationship with infrastructure developers.

Facility-Based Infrastructure Deployment--Designed and installed a multi-story conduit and cable management matrix for exemplary tenant services and optimal upgrade paths.

Technology Center Planning and Implementation--
Developed $380,000 in federal grants for the implementation of video conferencing networks, training centers, and technology access.

	Northern Nevada Telecommunications Alliance Telecommunications Strategic Plan Situation: A newly formed consortium of seven cities and counties (including Reno) needed a unique strategy to merge continuity of government with consumer benefits in telecommunications services and rate structures. Method: Applied a formal committee-based visioning process to establish vision, mission and goals. Conducted research on access and price structures, as well as access to alternative transmission modes, such as fiber optic cable. Results: Project was successfully implemented within time constraints. Findings determined that the jurisdictions had several new opportunities to improve broadband offerings in a manner supportive of their overarching goals and inter-jurisdictional collaboration.
	Siskiyou County Telecommunications Plan Situation: Project sponsors sought to create telecommunications options capable of supporting economic diversification. Although this rural county was located adjacent to a major transportation corridor, few options existed for local customers. Method: Grass-roots outreach, empirical research, market and infrastructure research. Results: Devised an alternative right of way management strategy, including a model ordinance template. Uncovered discrepancies between regional telecommunications carrier promises and realities. Identified a previously unknown state statute that could be used as an investment incentive. Structured a scenario for recruiting an alternative broadband provider in concert with a local fiber optic deployment project.
	NW Oregon Telecommunications Strategic Plan Situation: A three-county region adjacent to the Portland metropolitan area needed a strategy that would provide business recruitment leverage. Method: Tiered county-by-county outreach process culminating in a regional outreach conference. Customer surveys. Infrastructure inventory. Results: Delivered a strategy that used anchor points from municipal broadband services to services via open access infrastructure in public rights of way.
